You bet. But if they -weren't- contributing to the bad guys and you
said they were, you'd be the one in the wrong.

But they were. It wasn't a lie. Nobody misrepresented anything. Those
advertisers *were* advertising on Limbaugh's show. That's why they were
targeted.

Uh, wasn't it that the advertisers bought so many plays (airtime) and
the radio network dispersed them as they saw fit? That's the norm.

No, no. You misunderstand. The advertisers can say which shows they want or
don't want; it's just that some of them didn't, in this case, say that they
didn't want Limbaugh. They claim they were surprised that they were on his
show. First, I think that's stupid, because I've bought millions of dollars
of time and space and I can't imagine not telling my client what's in the
package. If you buy a package of local spots, it's true that you won't even
know what those shows are, but you should know if you're buying nationally
syndicated programs. I'm sure that many of them don't care and some didn't
know. But beyond that, if they cared, they could have said "no Limbaugh."

OK, the difference here may be in the level of advertising done.
People who buy multi-million dollar packages might be able to say when
and where the ads air, but we little guys can't. I know, I've tried
it. I had to stick to a 12-hour selection: AM or PM in LoCal. (of
course, $400 doesn't give you a lot of pull.)
