I suspect he was told by his partners that he was costing them money. I had a large number of sponsors drop out in a single day, that’s the beginning of an avalanche that had to be stopped.
Correction, “he” had, not I had.
If that is the case, the question is does the right have the balls to play in that game too?
By using the term “Slut”, Rush was just using the language of the left.
Between the Huffington Post, DU, the Daily KOS, and countless other liberal websites and hosts, there are literally tens of thousands of instances of those sites and their members calling people on the right “Sluts” (or much worse).
I wonder if any of these advertisers plan to pull their advertising from, for example, the Huffington Post?
Not just political websites and shows. How many of these advertisers sponsors shows like The Jersey Shore, the Real Housewives of XX, etc? These are common terms thrown around on these shows.
“I suspect he was told by his partners that he was costing them money.”
Also, he was probably hearing back from the stations that carry his show that they were taking flack from their local advertisers. Rush has responsibilities to many people and I don’t think he did this apology strictly for his own benefit.
Aha, you let it slip. You are really Rush! ;)
