Rush @Limbaugh Station and Advertiser Exodus Continues; Bill O'Reilly Slams Sandra Fluke #p #tcot

"Fallout over the radio host's controversial remarks continues.

The exodus from the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show continued on Monday night, with a second station and three more advertisers abandoning the under-fire conservative host.

Pittsfield, Massachusett's WBEC 96.9 FM announced that it would no longer air Limbaugh's program in the wake of his withering attack on Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke, whom he called a "slut" and "prostitute" last week for advocating insurance coverage of contraceptives.
"The nature of Rush's programming has always presented challenges for us and he's always pushed the envelope. But this time he's taken it too far," the station's general manager, Peter Barry, said in a statement. Earlier on Monday, Hilo, Hawaii's KPUA pulled Limbaugh's show, with its general manager calling Limbaugh's comments "degrading" and "egregious." "
