My letter to JC Penny regarding Limbaugh and Premiere Radio

Received a response from JCP that they only advertise on radio during times when Limbaugh is not aired. THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Here is my response:

"Thank you for your prompt response. I understand and appreciate your decision and your policy to restrict your radio advertising to shows “other” than the Rush Limbaugh show. While your decision is probably a prudent one, it does not excuse you from supporting the radio stations and syndicates that produce and carry the Rush Limbaugh show.

It makes no difference if you run an ad on a radio station at 11:55 AM, or 3:05 PM…the bottom line is that you are STILL supporting the type of vitriolic rhetoric and despicable content that is broadcast from 12:00 to 3:00 PM. If you continue to advertise on local stations that air Limbaugh, or buy ad time from companies like Premiere Radio, you “are” supporting Rush Limbaugh.

Perhaps it is time that companies and syndicates that promote and enable Limbaugh are held to a higher standard. Therefore, as long as you continue to run ads with Premiere Radio, I will continue to take my business elsewhere, and will encourage my family and friends to do the same.

Sincerely,


XXXXXXXXXXXX"
