Trump’s followers see a completely different presidency than the rest of the world sees. That’s because they are watching, reading or listening to right-wing media — and right-wing media is showing them a presidency that does not exist. After decades of Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and Breitbart, conservatives can no longer tell fact from fiction.

For the Republican uncivil war on women, we’ll need a take-no-prisoners Democratic general. Hillary Clinton has fought for women’s rights around the world. But who would have dreamed that she would have to fight for them at home?

The woebegone tale of radical right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh has hung around long enough to coincide with International Women's Day. That's more than serendipitous to some, considering Limbaugh has successfully fanned the flames over the past week on what is shaping up to be an all-out conservative-based war on American women.

Customers and listeners have taken to social media to inundate advertisers, stations and sponsors of Limbaugh's radio show with calls to boycott after he made incendiary comments last week about a Georgetown law student who testified before Congress in favor of having birth control covered under insurance plans. Limbaugh called the student, Sandra Fluke, a "slut" and a "prostitute."

This is nuts. (What word would you choose?) A female law student testifies about contraception and within days conservative commentators are sprinting towards their microphones and keyboards in order to find ways to call her a slutty, semen demon?

Where is Rush now? Just two weeks ago the arch-conservative talk show host seemed as if he would spontaneously combust, or laugh all the way to the bank. After he villified Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke for "needing so much birth control" she must be a "slut" (or a "prostitute"). Advertisers were either dropping like flies or flocking in droves for a spot on Rush's show. Media Matters takes a look at Rush's real bottom line.

Rush Limbaugh's drastic loss of advertisers is more than like the loss of a couple of French fries at the bottom of the bag. Who is Joseph Kony and why do we want to #StopKony? The New iPad. Mitt's "dog on roof" problem could be bigger than Rick's "man of dog" problem (seriously) and how the current GOP candidates are making Sarah Palin look good. Get the low down on all this and more right here at the Online Media Roundup.

Embattled conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday dismissed reports of dozens of advertisers pulling their commercials from his show, telling listeners that the loss of 28 sponsors (out of a self-proclaimed 18,000) was "like losing a couple of french fries in the container when it’s delivered to you in the drive thru. You don’t even notice it.”

Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke labeled a "slut" by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh says his apology changes nothing. Last Wednesday, Limbaugh branded Fluke a "slut" for her support of the Obama Administration's new policy on contraception. The radio show host repeated the charges on Thursday, saying: "Well, what would you call someone who wants us to pay for her to have sex? What would you call that woman? You'd call 'em a slut, a prostitute or whatever." Although Limbaugh later issued a lukewarm apology, as many as nine advertisers have pulled their ads from his show.
