THEY'RE DROPPING LIKE LICE ON RID
Michael Savage Loses Two Advertisers

Media Whores Online today published e-mail received by the site's readers from officials at Casual Male and PreferredRX.

Both companies informed the inquiring MWO readers they have asked their respective advertising agencies to ensure their advertisements are not carried during the broadcasts "The Savage Nation," the weekly program hosted by MSNBC's latest and greatest public-debate-expander, Michael Savage.

Great news. Looks like it's time to order that 52/Long sports jacket I've been coveting. And make a bulk purchase of glucose testing strips.

Happy to oblige. Oh, and the boycott petition can be found -- and signed -- by clicking here.

Uh-oh...I suppose this means I'm on yet another "enemies list." That's okay, only this one really does sort of scare me a little.

[Post-publication addendum (March 17): I'm a little late in adding this, but Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) on March 7 published an excellent piece on Savage, Phil Donohue, and MSNBC, "MSNBC's Double Standard on Free Speech.")
