Hum? Well, as I listen today, sure doesn’t seem he is lacking in advertisers.

No, this isn’t his Imus moment. It is the corrupt MSM fanning the flames attempting to provide fuel to the embers. Sorry Steelfish, I ain’t clicking on the article to give hits to the story.

They’re fanning the flames, but people are now awake to the game.

They may have come for Rush toooo late!

Hmmm. Imus is now on Fox after a short hiatus and he had nowhere near the audience Rush has. Wishful thinking on the part of MSM.

How about:

“Rush continues to dominate talk radio, despite controversy”

or

“Limbaugh sponsor share value tanks after dropping ads”

We live in parallel universes.

So long as the advertisers flinch to every whining liberal, this will continue. If they would stand up and demand their freedom to decide where and how to advertise - based on their business need - then the libs would see the futility and back off.

Now Allstate Insurance has joined the dropouts, I'm hoping that all of the Allstate insureds that cherish freedom of speech, will change companies ASAP.

Trying to control Rush, or any other talk show host by threatening their livlihood is just their statement that they don't allow any opinions that the left won't allow them to have.

The unintended consequence of slutgate is that Rush’ listeners will keep increasing past 20 million and he will be stronger from the experience. He will be one of the few businesses that can replace its sponsors at will with no loss of revenues.

All I hear during Rush’s commercial breaks are, well, commercials... the ones I always hear. Me-thinks most advertisers know where to put their advertising dollars. But hey, even if advertisers leave, that makes more room for Rushbo’s parody commercials... love-em all!

The comments on Yahoo are scathing toward ABC/Yahoo and are supportive of Limbaugh.

Just a cleanout of communists liberals from advertising using Rush. Hopefully Rush will get rid of them all and allow only conservative Constitutional honest advertisers.

Already switched from allstate when they refused to confirm my insurance. Ticket eventually got tossed when I submitted evidence...

Thanks AllState.

Headline should read, Rush Discovers True Allies as Fake Friends Jump Ship.

They made millions advertizing through him. One little un-PC moment and they’re gone.

He’ll keep going, they won’t.

The lefties are probably tweeting these advertisers to death.

Imus Moment? More like wishful thinking.

Rush has plenty of headroom in his business model to lose ad revenue and still be “sustainable”, a concept the left loves to scold us about. No doubt he also has capital to draw on to cover any cash flow deficit for a long time.

But to bring up Imus is a hoot, almost silly, because these same people have very short memories. Imus’ sin had a half-life of about 3 months, and now he is back. The same will happen to Rush, although the left will keep fanning the fires and the half-life on the slut kerfuffle will be a little longer.

There is a market-clearing rate for Rush that even today would fill every one of the slots in his show clock that are his to sell.
