I thought Rush's "bosses" suspended advertisement for 2 weeks?
This is a sneaky way to save advertisers from jumping ship because the "bosses" think people wont boycott if they think there is no advertisement and in 2 weeks they also probably think the public will forget everything. It is all about saving advertisers from pulling out. Rush is losing money for his show. To some extent this will work because Americans do have a short attention span.

Douglas Keachie Nevada County citizens, at least 51% of them, are smarter than the average bear, and a lot smarter than the average dittohead.
Douglas Keachie The two week hiatus apparently has allowed the locals to pick up ad spots for next to nothing or free, or even the promise of more ad time elsewhere at a later date, who knows? I'm amazed the local businesses would take the chance.
Ryan Mount I guess if you want to take on the mantle of watchdog, more power to you. Frankly I haven't listen to that(except accidentally) since 1994 when he referred to homeless people as "human refuse." I don't want to contribute to his Arbitron ratings by rewarding his bad behavior.
Douglas Keachie I would hope that each person who signed that petition would do 10 minutes a week, and post to their FB accounts. That way the general awareness would cause a drop in sales, and the local advertisers would just say "no." I'm not going to do it all alone. If others don't pick up on it, why should I suffer, unless someone wants to pay me. You can bet the Koch Brothers won't.
Ryan Mount Go protest out in front of Baskin Robbins, Maule's and Dokimos. Aren't they the real enablers?
Douglas Keachie They are, but circulating the information among the two to three hundred GV/NC folks I'm connected to on FB is much more effective, as most lean in favor of boycotting already. If we all did this, I suspect they'd cave immediately.
Douglas Keachie "I don't want to contribute to his Arbitron ratings by rewarding his bad behavior." No can do, unless you are one of the chosen who actively monitor their listen habits and report to Arbitron, OR, you use an Internet based radio tuner. I like Audials 9, but am aware that they can and most likely do track like crazy, for extra revenue. It is such a handy way to record both audio and video, and make copies on CD's, DVD's, so I accept the tradeoff.
