No Rush today, instead it was his fill-in, Mark Stein - just as much an ideological liar as Rush and his own laugh track to boot. The man can't help but chuckle constantly over his own wittiness. He just mentioned ethanol leading to food riots in Africa a few years back, [chuckle chuckle] WTF? What is funny about food riots you heartless bastard?
I got an update from Siuslaw Mortgage. Their ad package was structured such that their ads scheduling can't change until Sunday, hence they were on today's show but should be off next week.
There are also a few advertisers about whom I'm uncertain. One is Health Insurance Hotline. They are on regularly and do not seem to be a PSA but are also just a referral line. Google searches are all over the map.
Another is Community Health Centers of Lane County. This seems like a PSA and from their web info this seems to be a non-profit.
I'm also trying to enroll some more people to make calls and send emails to these advertisers. As was noted by one of the folks who is still advertising on Limbaugh, if he only gets a few calls he'll assume it is a tiny minority of people who actually care about this. Please, it you care about this issue, get involved and let them know that it is more than just a few disgruntled liberals. And consider inviting like-minded friends to do so as well. It can be very personally empowering to make these calls and take a stand against letting this kind of hate speech to continue degrading our political discourse.
It's no secret why the Republicans in the House are unable to reach any kind of compromise that doesn't give them everything they demand. It has been drilled in their heads for decades that liberals/Democrats are evil and stupid and unamerican. This is the result of the hate talk radio approach to politics and entertainment. Make it all about "our team against their team" and forget that we are all Americans. demonize the opposition and try to not only defeat them at the polls, but to destroy them personally and professionally. This is politics in America in the Limbaugh age.
Also, I'm guessing that the folks at Accuquote wouldn't be amused to know that their ad ran back-to-back to itself twice today on KPNW - the same identical ad. To be able to reference playing times for these ads I am including my call log at the end of the diary.
Advertiser list and contact info just across the Kosquiggle.
Here are today's advertisers, I've done a strike-through on advertisers who were on recently but not the past few days. New advertisers at the top denoted with an asterisk *, Recent ads not back on today denoted with a "?"
