Media Matters astroturf alert: 'Stop Rush' opens fire on Angie's List

In March, Angie’s List sent out a noncommittal tweet indicating the company was not “currently advertising” on Rush Limbaugh’s website.

Media Matters immediately listed Angie’s List as one of the advertisers that had “abandoned” Limbaugh.

But apparently, Angie’s List did no such thing.

There are hundreds more where those came from.

Let’s hope that even with this campaign of intimidation, Angie’s List sticks to its policy of including “many venues”—even conservative ones–in its advertising strategy.
