Media Matters Rush Limbaugh Radio Spot #1 and #2 - audio


Media Matters Rush Limbaugh Radio Spot #1




Media Matters Rush Limbaugh Radio Spot #2




Progressive media watchdog Media Matters released two of the radio ads it plans to use against Rush Limbaugh on stations that play his program.

<SNIP>

Media Matters launched its campaign on Thursday, stating the company planned to spend at least $100,000 on anti-Limbaugh radio ads. The ads use audio from Limbaugh's attack on Fluke and criticize stations that still air his program. The group called their ads "community service announcements."

Ms. Fluke, who bought your condoms in junior high?

Chilling in its implications.

I can easily see the adverts running on rival stations that don't carry this particular radio program, but the stations who carry that program are quite unlikely to air it, let alone air it during that particular program either.

Good job Media Matters has the balls to do this. I just believe it would be tough to get these aired in the correct places - during his show would have the most impact.

will have a different 'station' and city stated in the ad.

Those are just the first two that they have released.

I just believe the station mentioned in the ads would choose not to air the ads - only rival stations with different owners would run them IMO
