So I saw on Fox News apparently they've somehow made this story about Bill Maher, and it's being repeated all day. What the hell? Argument being Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a "cunt," and therefore he's sexist and therefore the administration is being hypocritical by accepting a $1mil donation to an Obama super PAC while criticizing Limbaugh. Obviously Bill Maher's a comedian and Rush is serious, but clearly (?!) this is irrelevant. They've apparently forced Louis C.K. out of the correspondent's dinner gig.

The level of unrelated spin is astounding sometimes. They've nearly forgotten about Rush and have ceased mentioning that sponsors are pulling.
Interestingly and ironically, Bill Maher has said that he is opposed to efforts to get sponsors to pull their ads. I guess his being on their side of that particular issue isn't enough for FOX to refrain from rabidly attacking the liberal.
That guy is always surprising me. I suppose Bill Maher has some kind of consistent philosophy in his head somewhere, but standing outside his cranium, it's sometimes hard to imagine what it is.

[quote] Rush Limbaugh Syndicator Suspends National Ads For Two Weeks

Radio-Info.com reports that Premiere Networks, which syndicates the Rush Limbaugh show, told its affiliate radio stations that they are suspending national advertising for two weeks. Rush Limbaugh is normally provided to affiliates in exchange for running several minutes of national advertisements provided by Premiere each hour. These ads are called “barter spots.” These spots are how Premiere makes its money off of Rush Limbaugh and other shows it syndicates.

But without explanation, Premiere has suspended these national advertisements for two weeks. Radio-Info.com calls the move “unusual.” The development suggests that Rush Limbaugh’s incessant sexist attacks on Sandra Fluke have caused severe damage to the show. [/b]

YES!

Thanks for the update, ss. Seems Windbaugh's empire really is collapsing.
