Topic: Sandra Fluke

The controversy surrounding Rush Limbaugh's comments about Sandra Fluke is characterized as a deliberate media distraction. The theory posits that the focus on contraception and "slut" rhetoric was engineered to move the Republican primary conversation away from religious issues that were harming Mitt Romney. The hosts link the ownership of Clear Channel by Bain Capital to the timing of the outburst.

Rush Limbaugh faces a massive advertiser boycott, including Citrix (GoToMyPC), after calling law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" during a broadcast about birth control mandates. The hosts analyze the controversy as a planned distraction and note that Limbaugh's syndicator, Premier Radio Networks, is owned by Clear Channel, which has ties to Bain Capital.
