67 Advertisers Abandon Limbaugh's Show
In the wake of Rush Limbaugh's misogynistic attacks on Sandra Fluke, numerous advertisers are abandoning his show. It is also being reported that well over 100 companies have taken proactive steps to ensure that their ads don't run on Limbaugh's program and similar shows.
Given the range of advertisers (from national brands running local ads to local advertisers), this list should not be considered exhaustive, but rather illustrative. If you know of an advertiser that has publicly stated it will no longer run ads on Rush Limbaugh's program but is absent from the list, you can submit that information here.
Below is the list of 67 advertisers, who have publicly confirmed that their ads will not run on Limbaugh's program.
