In the wake of the Jan. 8 mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that left six people dead and 14 wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Clear Channel has taken down a KNST NewsTalk 790 billboard in Tucson advertising Rush Limbaugh's radio show. The ad, which debuted a few weeks ago, used a bullet-hole motif and the headline "Rush Limbaugh. Straight shooter." Clear Channel, which owns the radio station and manages the outdoor space, said it believed "discussion of [the ad's] interpretation would not contribute to the desire for healing in the Tucson community."
