- Trust me; Rush doesn't get involved with all of his advertisers. Some he
- does, obviously, like Snapple and the Conservative Chronicle, but not all.
- For example, the company that makes "Hooked On Phonics:, one of his
- advertisers, markets an American History course on audio cassette that's
- clearly in the "left-wing revisionist" camp; it's even narrated by Martin
- Sheen!
-
- And it's highly likely that the "religious" ads that you're hearing are
- local; I haven't heard even ONE here in Sacramento, which indicates to me
- that they're probably not national in origin. Remember, one of the reasons
- that local stations CARRY the Rush Limbaugh Program is that it is a VERY
- highly rated radio show, and they can demand high advertising rates during
- it; much higher than they can for lower-rated shows. And after all, it's
- the local stations who have to make the money to keep the transmitters on
- the air.......
