My original email sent yesterday:
It has just come to my attention that
Sears is continuing to advertise on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
I am sure I need not remind you of his recent slanderous attacks on
Georgetown College Student Sandra Fluke. He has crossed the line here
and regardless of his "apology", he insulted this young woman no less
than 52 times in a period of 3 days, with some very vile language.
I can no longer afford to do business with any business that advertises
on the Rush Limbaugh Show. I hope you do the right thing for your brand
and cease any association with his hatefilled program. I don't want to
leave Sears as a customer.
Their response:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Sears.com.
Sears and Kmart did not buy media or sponsorships on the Rush Limbaugh
show. It is possible that a station incorrectly ran one of our ads on
or adjacent to the show, but we would need to know the market and day to
determine this. Sears Holdings does not purchase media based on
political affiliations or views.
So there you have it, Sears does NOT advertise on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
