Media Matters says it's up to 96 advertisers.

This includes companies who've NEVER advertised with him before putting out statements that they don't want their ads anywhere near his show and "others like it".

I like that, at least from what I've seen on the HBO show about the Bunny Ranch, that all the girls are very positive about their work. The boss guy is a dick, though. Advertising on Limbaugh doesn't really do anything here, but become a way for this guy to make more money. It does nothing to decrease the stigma about sex workers.

Yeah, the fact that the owner is a man undercuts progress IMO. I know it's his God-given right to have PROFIT but a co-op would be the way to go.

idk, I've read some things about the bunny ranch and other legal brothels in LV that make me a bit leery. I am all for legal prostitution so that sex workers can be protected, but the conditions in the brothels seem extremely grueling to me (on weeks where the workers are 'on duty' they can't leave, can't be seen at other institutions in the area etc).

I wish there was widespread legal prostitution so that sex workers can have the same right to safety and fair working conditions as any other contractor.

TBH I would not shed a single tear if I never heard Rush Limbaugh or Bill Mahr say anything ever again.

Really.

They should stop saying words.
