Advertisers Abandoning Right-wing Talk Radio

Melisa Jeltsen reports on the Huffington Post:

The overwhelming exodus of advertisers from Rush Limbaugh's show has big-name companies rethinking their relationship with talk radio.

According to a memo published by the industry website Radio-Info.com, at least 98 advertisers -- including big names like Ford, GM and McDonald's -- have indicated they want to avoid "environments likely to stir negative sentiments." 

Excerpt from the memo:

...They’ve specifically asked that you schedule their commercials in dayparts or programs free of content that you know are deemed to be offensive or controversial (for example, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity).  Source:  http://huff.to/wyIFUb

My comment:  Mirabile dictu!  This is too good to be true!  First, virtually every company and organization sponsoring Rush Limbaugh's fascist, racist and mysogyist ravings have cancelled their advertising, but now at least 98 companies do not want their commercials contaminated by proximitiy to Limbaugh and his fellow travelers!

This is turning from a wave into a tsunami of outrage and anger: let's not just pull the plug on Limbaugh, but--while we're at it--pull the plug on all of them!
