Count on us... and freepers please, please, let us know which "rat" companies follow this traitors lead... We will fire off to that lousy inept store, radio shack, (shack is right), and Bose. (Well over priced anyway, but we WERE considering one!) As for the other... Never heard of them! Please, let us know who dares to allow this stupid extortion! We hate P.C. companies!

[Terridan]

The drink of choice for Rosie O'Donnal...
No wonder I refuse to try it!!! Look what it did for her!

[IGNATIUS]

Although he has interludes of lucidity,most of Limbaugh's chatter is so banal I turned him off several years ago.Re his "sponsors" there are so many of them,too many commercials---it just adds to the waste of time.

The guy very seldom gives new or significant info to anyone who reads newspapers or the internet.

PING

[TLBSHOW]

Rush's show are all companies that deny they ever ran ads during the show.

Nope. I know Bose advertised through Rush.

"....Stinson and his cohorts were content to largely ignore the king of reactionary talk radio..."

They dared call Rush a reactionist? Hm.... Who is scared of gasoline? Who is scared of SUVs? Who is scared of chainsaws? Who is scared of nuclear power? Who is scared of a modern military? Who opposes missile defense? Who is scared of billionaires? Who is scared of draining swamps? Who opposes modernization of 'native' Americans [indians]? Who is scared of modern agriculture? Who is saying we should go back to the Middle Ages, dunging the farms? Who is opposed to maintaining modern roads? Who wants us to defend our homes with knives, clubs, and/or begging? Who is scared of toilets that work? Who thinks that the internet is a danger to political thought? Who wants 'Mother Nature' to take over the land? If anyone is a reactionist, its the goofy left. Oh wait, they call themselves 'progressives'. Why? Ah. They are opposed to the Death Penalty and spanking. That makes them cutting edge. They actually think that removing gun rights is 'cutting edge', but disarming the masses is as ancient as China.

>>"He just went too far," said Stinson. "Don't call me anti-American. I served this country."

So did Benedict Arnold.

Micheal Stinson, a Vietnam-era veteran, is co-founder of Take Back The Media.

Being a Vietnam-era veteran is a far cry from being a Vietnam Veteran; my faith in media reporting shows this to be a truer indication that he did not serve in Vietnam.... Besides, I know a lot of veterans who are democrats, and a lot of democrats who call themselves Christians....

Amazing about radio shook. It hires a spokesman from the muslim terrorist camp and then backs away from a comedian. Radio shook carries a line on compaq computers, turn about would be fair play considering that most pc savy folks are not left wing extremestists.

[PLK]

It initially scared off some marketers but the program's ratings and demographics were so good that it attracted business from sectors that don't sell to religious nuts anyway

Rush's program's ratings and demographics are so good that it attracts business from sectors that don't sell to left-wing nuts anyway - so there!!!

This guy is NO reporter; if this isn't an OPINION piece, I've never seen one.

There is absolutely no example that anyone can point to where an enormously popular program that exceeded its competition by leaps and bounds faltered because of a lack of advertisers.

What about Dr. Laura? Didn't this happen to her? I always thought her program was popular, yet when there was that flap over the homosexual thing, she was yanked off the air. Anyone remember? Or was it a different situation?

Take Back The Media

[Alberta's Child]

I wouldn't describe it as a "faltering" show, but it is interesting to note that in the New York market Howard Stern has an audience at least three times as large as Don Imus', and yet Imus generates more advertising revenue.

Hopefully, "Spatula City" will not be intimidated into cancelling their ads.

[Adder]

I just used TBTM's website to write to 3 sponsors in just a few minutes...they did all the research. Just click and tell the companies you appreciate their continued advertising on Rush's show.
And get the perverse satisfaction of using the enemy's sword against him.

[Lion's Cub]

Not to worry. The truth is that advertisers have already learned that nobody listens to "progressive" radio. The only way progressives can stay on the airwaves is to confiscate taxpayer money to pay for it.

"Well, I cut up my Radio Shack card 3 years ago, I don't ride AmTrak, and there goes my Bose radio I was considering. "

Dito, I won't shop at Radio Shack

I won't take Amtrack

and Bose just lost my business

I'll buy JBL speakers.

"Don't call me anti-American. I served this country."

I'd call him anti-American to his face.
