Comcast To Firearms Shops: Your Money’s No Good Here « CBS Detroit.

Comcast is a big owner of NBC, and a cable service giant in the United States. Being leftie owned, it is refusing advertisements from firearms manufacturers as a matter of policy. Looking for self consistency from them would be futile. They will continue to pump ads for more dangerous things into people’s homes, and programming containing gratuitous violence of all kinds including that involving firearms.

It is noteworthy that firearms manufacturers are selling guns faster than they can make them, so perhaps advertising is less crucial than in the past. This step by Comcast might not be as significant as they think it is.

Still it is worthwhile for Second Amendment supporters to consider boycotting Comcast, changing cable providers, going to internet sources of entertainment, getting satellite or DSL as an internet provider, etc.

J.C. Penney Turnaround in Doubt as Sales Plummet – US Business News – CNBC

J.C. Penney Turnaround in Doubt as Sales Plummet – US Business News – CNBC.

Notice that cNBC is unable to connect the dots. The reporters analyse the three quarters of badly slumping sales with out recognizing a primary cause. JC Penney has strongly embraced the gay lifestyle by choosing to emphasize this very prominently in their advertising. Its sales are plummeting AGAIN.

Penney is one more example of a company taking a controversial social position which which its own customer base is NOT aligned.

Al Lewis, a commentator at WSJ appeared to have understood the misalignment in June, and foresaw the upcoming doom.
Said Al: “Diversity, inclusion, acceptance for all—these are laudable values. The problem is, well, I have never actually met an openly gay person who openly shops at J.C. Penney.”

Perhaps if the company reorganize AGAIN, and comes back under a new name……

Leftists Lying About Rush’s Sponsors Again

Suddenly the lefties are worried about adultery. This is a new development as they did not consider this behavior to be a disqualifying characteristic for their politicians. They do appear to think it disqualifies radio hosts and their listeners from acceptability, however, if they are conservative. Always the double standard.

Alexandra Petri, claims that Rush has accepted ads for AshleyMadison, (arranges extramarital hookups) and the SeekingArrangment.com (sugar daddy site).

For his listeners, Rush explained how radio ads are run. A set of them are national, and arranged by Rush’s show itself. Profit goes directly to them from these ads. The radio affiliates also arrange their own ads independently. Profit from these goes to the radio shows. Most of the ads lost from the latest controversy are local ads, and this happens with each controversy that comes up. The advertisers stick with the stations but move their ads away from his show when he upsets them. Others respond oppositely.
Rush has stated that he doesn’t accept the Ashleymadison or the SeekingArrangement ads. He also asks for the ads, accepted by local affiliates, to be moved away from his shows whenever they become aware of them.

You don’t have to believe Rush himself when he says that he selects his ads with his conservative audience in mind.

The Wrap has obtained comment from CEO Noel Biderman of Ashley Madison:

Indeed, Ashley Madison, the dating service for people looking for love outside their relationships, has offered to fill Limbaugh’s extra ad inventory.

“I’m trying to be the opportunistic entrepreneur that I am,” CEO Noel Biderman told TheWrap. “He’s clearly a controversial figure, one that to date has refused my overtures to advertise on his show.”

What’s the chance that Angela Petri will retract her misprepresentation? Not good. Unlike yours truly, who corrects errors of fact when they are brought to light, Angela is a leftist.

Special Note.. regular readers note that Pharmer watches KMart-Sears. This is the company which has had decreasing sales, since KMart bought Sears, and leads the big box retailer failures over the last five years. They bailed on Rush Limbaugh — one more in a long line of bad business decisions. 😉

It’s Only Natural to Avoid Assisting in One’s Own Destruction

So Toyota pulled it’s advertising from ABC. That’s a sound decision for self defense. The Auto manufacturer should not pay ABC for assisting the union backed, U.S. administration’s efforts to drive it out of this country, and send its American workers to the unemployment lines.

People might love or hate Toyota, but its presence to compete with US auto makers resulted in a boon for American consumers: Better Cars.

The Obama administration is using its regulatory powers to undermine Toyota because its own Government Motors is not doing well.

All of our automobiles are GM or Chrysler. We will seek to change this situation with our future purchases.
