This is the second station to dump Rush today as reported by New England Public Radio. And apparently they did it out of exasperation with Limbaugh ...
General Manager Peter Barry says his station hadn't yet lost any advertisers as a result of Rush's comments, and no more than a handful of callers had voiced complaints. But he says over the years he and station staff have grown increasingly uncomfortable with Limbaugh's rhetoric.
"The nature of Rush's programming has always presented challenges for us and he's always pushed the envelope. But this time he's taken it too far."
Barry says he doesn't anticipate that the station will broadcast Limbaugh's program in the future. He says the station has yet to fill the afternoon 12-3 time slot.
I also noted that in AOL's suspension of their advertising they mention their commitment to integrity with the implication that Rush has none. Personally, I see Rush as a drowning man. And as such, I am compelled by every ounce of human decency in my soul to throw him the biggest, heaviest anchor I can find.
