Media Matters is going after game that is bigger than their biggest gun. The other day, when I briefly left my lair to pick up a few of these, I tuned into the Rush Limbaugh show to see if he still had sponsors or if his ad blocks consisted of nothing but stuff from the Ad Council. Turns out, he was on fire as usual, pondering why Oprah Winfrey didn’t just follow Barack Obama’s example and pour more money after bad to keep Rosie O’Donnell’s show in her OWN network. That is what Obama would do, isn’t it.
As far as ads went, everything sounded normal to me. The show sounded as strong as ever. I heard a mix of ads that were obviously national, and some that were obviously local. No PSAs or Ad Council stuff. Texas Senate candidate Ted Cruz has an ad running in the show, not this one but a very good one. Cruz’s campaign, by the way, is currently running a money bomb.
Regarding Media Matters, it’s no great secret why they’re going after Rush. He’s successful, and they’re not.
Losing the Girl Scout endorsement must ahve really hurt MMfA.
I remember what happened when some group tried to pull an Anita Bryant on Rush over orange juice. It was supposed to be a boycott. Rush’s fans bought so much orange juice that the shelves were bare in Florida.
Completely O/T here, but what is with all these Lefty ads on this site, lately?
EPA ad? And previously there was this Sherrod Brown ad. Other similar things get run. Oh, well, I guess the Lefties do not know this is not their target audience? Take their money. Just seems strange to me.
Got me. They’re Google ads. Click on ‘em and it should cost the lefties who are running them some dough, though.
Ah, so you guys get paid if we click on the lefty ads? Push that, let us know. I want to take their money and support new media.
Listening on So Cal Radio Station KFI, last week there were PSA’s and fillers ( barnacle brothers). This week you notice that some of the advertisers from before the incident have dropped but you dont hear any PSA’s any more. The Aquarium of the Pacific and the Moronga Casino are missing but the car companies have all come back.
This isnt about limbaugh, its about intimidation. If they can take down limbaugh, they send a message to everyone else, that you do what they say or else we will take you out. This was about getting people in line. This is the brownshirt tactic of street thuggery. Reward it, and you will get more.
Well, that Aquarium of the Pacific was starting to really grind on me pushing all their eco-friendly crap.
I would also point out that the hard to comprehend campaign ads for Newt Gingrich as also gone.
That’s probably because Newt is out of money.
