The Influence of Media Matters

Rumors are running large that almost 40 advertisers have dropped their ads from Rush Limbaugh's show.  This ABC News story published on the Yahoo newsfeed claims that "42 advertisers, two radio stations and two musicians have closed the door on Limbaugh."  They include Rush's counter claim that he made today on his radio show that there is a stark difference between local advertisers and national advertisers--he doesn't receive any dollars from local advertisers because of the difference in revenue streams between local and national advertising.

But who is really behind this story?  The answer:  Media Matters and its President David Brock.

It's interesting what stories the MSM picks up on...
