In yet another sign that Rush Limbaugh’s apology over the weekend won’t be enough to silence his critics, online florist ProFlowers became the latest advertiser to withdraw its sponsorship of Limbaugh’s radio show Sunday.
From the Los Angeles Times:
“Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company. As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on the Rush Limbaugh radio program,”[Pro-Flowers] announced on its Facebook page.
On Saturday, Carbonite — which like ProFlowers has taken a lot of heat from progressive activists for advertisting on Limbaugh’s show in the wake of the Sanda Fluke controversy — also pulled ads following Limbaugh’s public apology.
