Sam’s Club Stops Advertising On Rush Limbaugh’s Show |
The flow of advertisers abandoning Rush Limbaugh has slowed to a trickle, but yesterday Sam’s Club, the wholesale retail chain, announced on social media that they have withdrawn their advertisements. Limbaugh’s sexist rant against Georgetown graduate student and women’s advocate Sandra Fluke prompted at least 40 advertisers to flee from Limbaugh’s program.
Update
Sam’s Club stopped advertising on Limbaugh’s show in March. The tweet in question referenced that earlier decision. The company withdrew from Premiere Networks, a group that placed their advertisements on the Limbaugh’s show.
