Keep up the pressure on the advertisers. Right now this looks like an attempt to cool down the national temperature so they can return to business as usual. Don't count on it, Good Ol' Boys Network.
There is nothing like a woman scorned. American women are fed up with the mean-spiritedness of GOP talk show hosts aimed squarely at all women.
During the past two weeks women, all across the nation, took measures to let national advertisers know loud and clear they will not purchase their products. Utilizing social media, the internet and blogging proved to be quite effective for a relentless campaign in real time.
As a result of the campaigns of liberal groups emailing and phoning in their complaints to the various targeted companies, more advertisers fled the controversy. By Friday when I was posting about this advertiser runaway it was 50 companies. This Monday morning it was 98 companies. By nightfall the tally grew to 140 advertisers abandoning the Rush Limbaugh ship and other conservative talk show hosts. There are only 350 advertisers on the entire Premiere Radio Networks for a variety of shows.
