Carbonite CEO: Limbaugh Ad Pullout Hurt Company, But ‘Things Would Have Been Worse Had We Not Done That’

David Friend, CEO of Carbonite, made the comments in a call with investors after the company released its second quarter financial results. Carbonite, a software company, was the sixth advertiser to drop its spots on Limbaugh’s show in the wake of his infamous comments about law student Sandra Fluke.
