Letter to WBFD

Dear Sir:

I would like to take this way to strongly encourage you to cancel the Rush Limbaugh hours of the  programming of WBFD Radio.

Limbaugh has made the kind of news recently that really shows his “true colors”. His despicable comments have hit a new low—if that is possible.

The fact that the young woman he spoke about has roots in Bedford County makes this even worse.
Out of regard for her parents and extended family, the voice of Rush Limbaugh should be silenced in Bedford County. There are many more solid reasons why Limbaugh should be cancelled but this one should make it easy to decide to replace his rantings with something edifying. It would raise the level of the WBFD offerings for community listening, if his voice were silenced.

Limbaugh’s apology was nearly as disgusting as his original remarks. He called those an attempt at “humor” and had no idea they would become part of a national discussion! That rates as a new definition of humor.

As I write this, seven of his sponsors have left. Some have indicated the apology will not bring them back. We can hope that builds.

I sincerely hope that you will replace Rush Limbaugh with something that will  upgrade that part of the air time of WBFD. Listeners in Bedford County deserve better.

Sincerely,


Elaine Sollenberger
