Rush Limbaugh’s radio show lost nine sponsors over his name-calling of a woman lobbying for greater access to birth control.
According to the BBC Limbaugh called law student Sandra Fluke on-air a slut and a prostitute for testifying before Democrats that employers offering health insurance should cover contraception.
Since companies including AOL have pulled their advertisements from Limbaugh’s right-wing radio show that reaches fifteen million viewers a week.
Limbaugh apologized for his choice of words telling his viewers he fell sway to leftist tactics. Fluke has since rejected that apology with advertisers following suit.
