>> * The U.S. Army has joined the very large group of advertisers dropping their sponsorship of Rush Limbaugh's radio show.

That's okay, but I DARE them to try to pull Limbaugh from Armed Forces Radio. Just dare them.

NY Times still advertising during 'Rush Limbaugh Show'

[/url] NY Times advertisement airing during ‘Rush Limbaugh Show’ on flagship station

By Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller 03/14/2012
dailycaller.com

While Media Matters for America has been eager to argue that conservative talker Rush Limbaugh’s radio show has suffered in the wake of controversial remarks he made recently on his show, the liberal attack group is not telling the whole story when it claims the program’s flagship station, WABC 770 AM in New York City, has had to broadcast dead air during commercial breaks because of the flap.

Last week the Media Matters website pointed out the dead air on the station’s online “listen live” feed. But the group ignored what was aired over the broadcast airwaves, which often dramatically differs from online feeds.

Some stations don’t run commercials online because of extra announcer fees and issues surrounding advertising agency rights, according to John Mainelli, a former New York Post media reporter.

It also escaped Media Matters’ notice that an advertisement for the left-leaning New York Times aired during Limbaugh’s Tuesday program.

A recording of Limbaugh’s commercial break on Tuesday from 12:55 p.m. EDT to 12:58 p.m. EDT on WABC shows that ads were aired for the non-prescription female hormone balancer Amberen, a food-stamp public service announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a spot for WABC’s other programming and one for The New York Times.

The Times’ one-minute spot is as follows, courtesy of Mainelli. It begins at 2:39 in the recording.

The Times spot appears to have aired during the show’s “local break,” which is controlled by WABC. Still, it’s curious because even the Times’ own reporting by Brian Stelter failed to acknowledge that ad.

Stelter instead apparently relied solely on Media Matters’ monitoring report for his story, a a charge that has been leveled against him in the past when he has pointed out supposed instances of “dead air” on WABC.

Envy–It’s An Ugly Thing: Obamas Notice the Camerons “Look Better” Than They Do by Tammy on March 14, 2012


Yeah, honey, everyone looks better than you do. And on November 7th, you’ll also look unemployed. One note to Mooch–bling doesn’t help.

Yes, I have a feeling this is begging to be a Caption This! Obama: British pair ‘look better than us’

When it comes to appearances at state dinners, President Obama is keeping score.

Mr. Obama was standing with first lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday night at the White House when their guests of honor, British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha, arrived for the state dinner on the South Lawn.

As Mrs. Cameron stepped out of a town car, Mr. Obama commented, “very pretty.”

Then he turned to his wife and said, “They look better than us.”

Priorities, priorities. What a jerk.

But this can’t be a revelation to these two. Destroying us economically apparently isn’t enough, they’ve been embarrassing us to the entire world for over 3 years now.

And hey Michelle, envy is ugly. And if you do it too often, your face will freeze that way. Oh, wait…

So a guy calls rush yesterday and tells him he has a new conservative book out, the guy knows Rush's brother and says your brother wrote a blurb on the back cover.

Rush says what's the name of the book, looks it up on books on line and right then and there buys an E copy of it.

at the time the book is 304,000 on amazon, by the end of the show it's number 4.

Tell me advertisers don't know the power of Rush and Rush is finished.lolol
