I've often wondered what kind of advertisers would sponsor "shock jocks" at either extreme end of the political spectrum. It would seem lucrative, possibly, depending on who their audience is, and how likely they are to be able to convert those viewers/listeners/readers into paying customers. But it would also seem like a headache for their corporate communications people, as they can be incendiary on a regular basis. Here in the land of free speech, I guess it's all in where they can make the most money.
The brave (or foolish) souls who continue to sponsor Rush Limbaugh following the latest controversy are listed thusly. Many have dropped out....too much hassle must mess with their bottom line. I'm interested in seeing whether there's any fallout locally from this.....one of the sponsors is here in my own community, strangely.
