Hey, If You're Gonna Make A Futile Gesture...


MaryScott O'Connor, blog-mom and agitator, posted a list of the sponsors and others associated with keeping the Rush Limbaugh Radio Abomination on the air. It won't do any good, for reasons too numerous to name (a similar boycott did NOT drive Glenn Beck from Fox, it only restructured the ads), but if you feel like 'striking a blow,' here's who to call...

Limbaugh's been on the air nearly 30 years. If his sponsors have not yet sussed what they're supporting by now, you GOTTA reckon they never will. I don'[t know of ANY advertizing boycott that worked, because the advertizers figger there's a partion of tha udience they're not gonna get, anyway. The actions against Beck on Fox only moved the ads around, did nothing to weaken or reduce Beck's following or his commercial support. It's the same for Limbaugh.

And do not ever imiagine there will EVER be a return to the "Fairness Doctrine." Mass media-consolidation and the mass corpoRatization of the press have put paid to that lovely idea...

At this point, we have no plans to advertise on Rush Limbaugh.

With that said, Lumber Liquidators purchases broadcast media as a means to reach a mass audience. The stations and networks are selected based on demographic criteria and ratings however we have not advertised on the Rush Limbaugh show for over a year now. We neither select programming or personalities as a part of our purchases. Stations place our commercials within programming that has unsold inventory or available time slots. Our advertising is not an endorsement of or an indication of support for any specific programming. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your concern
