Rush Limbaugh has rejected an advertiser’s apparent attempt to reunite with his show after the company initially dropped its ads from the program following his remarks about contraception advocate Sandra Fluke.
The company, Sleep Train, calls itself “the No. 1 Bedding Specialist on the West Coast, and most recognized mattress retailer in the region.”
In an email to Sleep Train President Dale Carlsen (obtained by The Blaze), a representative of the show says that Limbaugh personally considered the company’s request, but denied it considering its public comments following the controversy.
“Thank you for your requests last week and this week to restart your voiced endorsement in local markets of The Rush Limbaugh Show,” the email begins. “Rush received your requests personally.”
“Unfortunately, your public comments were not well received by our audience, and did not accurately portray either Rush Limbaugh’s character or the intent of his remarks. Thus, we regret to inform you that Rush will be unable to endorse Sleep Train in the future.

Priceless: Rush Limbaugh tells advertiser with 'sellers remorse' to take a hike
Sleep train pulled their ads from Rush Limbaugh's show after the Sandra Fluke hoopla. They quickly realized their mistake and attempted to reunite with Limbaugh. He politely told them to take a hike.
yep...something advertisers on shows as big as Rush's fail to remember...it cuts both ways.
ReplyDeleteGood for Rush. The advertisers that pulled out don't deserve the money they made from his listeners..
ReplyDeleteGood for Rush.
ReplyDeleteThis should also silence those who said he only apologized because of the loss of advertisers.
