Rush Limbaugh is probably not sweating this one, folks. The critics keep piling on. But the immensely popular talk radio host has the biggest "sponsor" of all on his side: Clear Channel radio network.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, and New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan are among the latest to criticize Limbaugh for calling a Georgetown University student a "slut" and a "prostitute" after she testified in favor of birth control insurance coverage.
But Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks Inc., which hosts Limbaugh's conservative talk show, has voiced its unwavering support for Limbaugh, whose contract runs through 2016.
"The contraception debate is one that sparks strong emotion and opinions on both sides of the issue," Premiere Networks told the Associated Press. "We respect the right of Mr. Limbaugh, as well as the rights of those who disagree with him, to express those opinions."
A representative for Premiere declined to tell the news service how much revenue the company is losing over the recent loss of advertisers seeking to distance themselves from Limbaugh and his comments....

Tammy Bruce has a kick-ass show, also “commando” (no sponsors). Sadly, it’s only streaming and not broadcast radio. It’s nice to have that FREEdom to practice FREE speech.
okay, now you’re putting words in my mouth. I never said it was a win, you said it was a win for the left and I diagreed!! stop using a left tactic by changing the crux of the argument.
Nah, ambivalent. I hope everyone is successful in life. Socialism always fails, always. Apologizing to Socialists and not exercising your God given Constitutional rights isn’t a good strategy. Helping their system fail is.
He gives Apple a lot of free time, because they would never hire him, but they must give him PowerBooks and iPads to give away on occasion. In fact I think Jobs spent some time trying to get him off the radio, he also went after Beck.
Wednesday will be Apple day for sure. He is a Devoloper so has probably had his hands on some of the stuff already.
I am 73 and I listen to net casts exclusively. When on the road there are apps for most of them.
Well you tell me, what did Rush accomplish beside dividing his supporters into two camps?
Did he diffuse his critics?
No. He never will on any issue.
Did he take the focus off himself?
No. He never will on any issue.
Did he put the Obama Administration under a microscope?
No.
Did he keep his sponsors?
No. but within a week he’ll have the replaced easily.
Did he gain listeners because of his Mea Culpa?
No. Not that we know of yet.
Face it. Your trying to polish a turd...
No. Face this... The points you bring up have always created/resulted in debate and hard feelings. You have always had one foot out the door on this guy and you use this to justify your walking. well walk out and STFU! WHO’S STOPPIN YA??
He should have called her a leach.
How do you know Sheri’s Berries pulled their ads?
Yeah and I like Sarah Palin but..........
Get over yourself, no one will miss you.
{Face it. Your trying to polish a turd}
Hold still, maybe we can.
Aww sweetie, I'm sorry. Tyger didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Tell you what, why don't you go back to playing with your Dr. Phil and Oprah dolls and let the grown-up discuss grown-up things.
Either that or GTFU! Debate and argumentation is what FReeping is all about!
The problem with people like you is you can't lose an argument without blaming it on the person that beat you instead of blaming it on your own flawed reasoning.
Well aren’t you the clever one?
No?
Is that why you snark instead of answering the question you’re replying to?
Rush should not have apologized. This country is becoming more polluted by the day. We need to regain control of our women (wives, sisters, daughters) or we will have to answer to God as a nation.
you didnt win shit... you’re hangin crape because some guy you wish you were did not say what you wanted him to say. because he didn’t, youre takin your marbles and goin home... well go home and stop cryin. we get it... you aint gonna listen to Rush no more. Got it!! no go on ya bother me...
Gee whiz, now that I look at your answers more closely, I looks like you agree with me.
Rush’s apology accomplished NOTHING except dividing his supporters....
There’s always state run propaganda radio.
very good ace... get yerself a cookie...
Not while halfwits try to paint this as a good thing.
Besides, unless you happen to be JimRob, KMA!
Isn’t it sort of funny that all those women who demand to be treated no differently than men on account of their gender appear to be the first to act radically different from men and throw a screaming meemie, hissy fit over how badly they, as women, are being treated, as though they, by virtue of their gender, deserve some special kind of treatment?
