I posted yesterday about a list of companies which have instructed Premiere Networks not to run their ads on conservative talk radio shows, for fear of reaction from "a very small percentage of the listening public" (emphasis mine): These advertisers have made a commitment to using...
Gawker Media's websites, particularly its flagship Gawker website, are notorious gossipers. Gawker in many ways is an equal opportunity attacker, but two of its highest profile stories were sexualized attacks against conservative female politicians. Wonkette, known for going after Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin and other conservative women, was...
If you only read Media Matters and Think Progress, you'd think Rush Limbaugh was on the verge of losing his radio empire because 50 or more advertisers "dropped" him. While Limbaugh has lost some important advertisers, it appears that many of the advertisers dropping him never...
One week agao, on Saturday night, March 3, 2012, Carbonite announced its decision to break off relations with its key radio endorser. It appears to have been a fateful decision. From Chuck Jaffe at MarketWatch, Don’t ‘rush’ to Carbonite shares (h/t commenter Eliot Ness): When Carbonite Inc. stock took...
Rush Limbaugh used an analogy including the words slut and prostitute, and the liberal media and political sphere went wild. It was just what Media Matters, Think Progress, and others needed to organize attacks on advertisers in an attempt to force Limbaugh off the air. The self-righteous indignation...
Gloria Allred just couldn't help herself, she had to get in on the Sandra Fluke / Rush Limbaugh story. Allred has gone public with a letter she sent to officials in Florida seeking to have Rush prosecuted under a Florida law, which makes it a misdemeanor, with...
Probably not a good idea to make decisions which could alter the course of company history on a Saturday night. Will Carbonite become the next Sleep Train, and attempt to regain access to Limbaugh's audience? Via Instapundit, Rush said no to Sleep Train and probably would...
The decline in the price of Carbonite stock since it announced it was dropping its longstanding advertising on the Rush Limbaugh show is not the real story of the damage done to Carbonite. The price of Carbonite stock has been dropping since October for reasons unrelated to this controversy,...
Carbonite dropped its high-profile sponsorship of Rush Limbaugh because of a single incident last week in which Rush used certain words in describing Sandra Fluke, for which Rush apologized in writing on Saturday and on the air on Monday. Yet Carbonite retains sponsorship of others who have...
I'll post the audio when available, but Rush Limbaugh just stated that the advertiser boycott of his show is vastly overstated and based on inflated numbers. (audio added, via Common Cents) As I have pointed out in response to concerned commenters, many of those listed by Media...
There's something Bill Maher understands. What goes around comes around. Media Matters and Think Progress can organize a campaign to attack Rush Limbaugh's advertisers as a means -- they hope -- of forcing him off the air. But what goes around comes around. And it will. So Maher has...
On Saturday, March 3, 2012, Carbonite announced that it was dropping its advertising on the Rush Limbaugh Show even after Limbaugh had apologized to Sandra Fluke for certain comments made regarding Ms. Fluke. When the controversy originally broke, Carbonite took a principled stand that its advertising was...
Jeffrey Lord (via Instapundit) addresses the attempt to drive away Rush Limbaugh's advertisers, focusing particularly on Carbonite: In other words, to put it politely, Mr. Friend's woe-is-me I'm-withdrawing-my-company's sponsorship-from-Rush Limbaugh-because of-my-lovely-daughters is as close to certifiable BS as one can imagine. Mr. Friend, one can only suspect, placed...
And I'm not talking about the attempt to get advertisers to stop advertising on Rush Limbaugh's show, or Fox News, although that would be bad enough. I'm talking about the second-tier of the warfare, the attempt to intimidate those removed by one or more degrees of...
Liberal groups have seized on a strategy I didn't think would be effective, but has had some success, to go after advertisers of prominent conservative media personalities. Media Matters explicitly seeks to bring down Fox News and investigate its executives, and Fox News advertisers have been...
Carbonite, a company I never heard of except through its advertising on Rush Limbaugh's show, has dropped Rush nothwithstanding Rush's apology. Here is the statement released earlier tonight: A Statement from David Friend, CEO of Carbonite as of 6:45pm ET, March 3: “No one with daughters the age...
I have featured the vile (I'm being restrained here) anti-Israel Boycott Divest Sanction movement before, including their attempts to disrupt businesses owned by Israelis or doing business with Israel. The BDS movement is an iteration of the Islamist-Leftist Anti-Israel Coalition. IsraellyCool has come up with a...
Be sure to buy-cott Motorola, along with Sabra Hummus and Aroma Cafe. Why does it seem these anti-Israel flash mobs overwhelmingly are made up of crazy-eyed females? ...
