Advertisers Drop Savage Radio Show Over Autism Remarks

A week after conservative radio host Savage made controversial

remarks suggesting a child with autism was really " a brat who hasn't

been told to cut the act out, " advertisers and some radio stations are

distancing themselves from his show. According to Newsday, " Radio

Shack, Aflac and Sears say that their advertisements should not have

appeared during Savage's show and will not for the foreseeable future, "

while Anheuser-Busch explained " it has never advertised on Savage's

program. " And Mississippi network of radio stations SuperTalk dropped

the program, with its president explaining, " We're a conservative

network. I just didn't see why a person with so much hatred had a place

in our network. "

Ever since the 80s, every disadavantged group in American society has

needed the turning point of seeing a comment like this one obtained.

Thus it looks from outside, anyway.

My husband and I listen to talk radio but always turned the station when

Savage came on because he is just such a jerk. Unfortunately, even with

the loss of these advertisers he will continue to spout his BS and there

will be listeners who agree with him.
