Unfortunately, Carbonite made the same type of remarks, and he’s letting them back on. Bad form, IMHO.
Meanwhile, the Daily Kos/Mainstream Media/MediaMatters take:
What does it say about the radio blowhard, who goes before his listening audience and essentially says that he’ll give up his air time for free? What does that make him? It makes him a slut, right?
A total of 86 ads aired during WABC’s broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show today
77 of those ads were public service announcements donated free of charge by the Ad Council
Of the nine paid spots that ran, seven were from companies that have said they have taken steps to ensure their ads no longer air during the program
WABC’s online feed included about 5:33 of dead air when ads would normally have run.
He’s giving away so much air time, it’s amazing he’s still on the air. The fact is he wants to have repeated, never-ending, as often as he wants it, dead air—for free.
