Did Social Media Take Down Rush Limbaugh?
On Monday, AOL announced in a Facebook post that it was joining the flood of advertisers pulling their spots from the Rush Limbaugh Show. The sponsor defections started last week, when the radio host called Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" for testifying before Congress in support of a birth-control mandate. Online outrage eventually boiled over when Limbaugh encouraged Fluke to publish a sex tape. His rationale: If "we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."
