>>> What exactly was made up? The entire story line from the Left is made up to suggest advertisers are leaving in droves. They aren't. We know of eight; however, at least one is trying to come back (and LImbaugh refused them), and the others are taking a beating (Carbonite and Citrix have been slammed with complaints over their weak-kneed handling of the situation, and Carbonite's stock has dropped precipitously). The Premiere email was simply a reiteration of policy; that certain risk-averse advertisers don't want their ads run on controversial shows. That is not, in any way, akin to advertisers "dropping" their commitments. These are all misleading stories designed to inflate the numbers and make the boycott seem more successful than it is. Limbaugh probably will see a positive uptick in his ratings as a result of all this. I haven't listened to him in years I listened two days last week just to see what he had to say. He continues to be the same talk radio genius I first listened to in 1988. No one has ever come close to his level of talent.
