A 7th advertiser pulls out of Limbaugh's show

The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- A flower company is the 7th advertiser in recent days to say it is pulling ads from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh's radio program.

ProFlowers says on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh's program because his comments about Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke "went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company."

The company had said on Twitter that posts it received about Limbaugh's remarks affected how it dealt with its advertising partners.
