CNN advertisers silent on whether they'll keep sharing airtime with Rick Santorum after his claims that there was “nothing” in America before white colonizers came -- and that Native Americans haven’t done much for American culture anyway. huffpost.com/entry/cnn-adve… w/ @aterkel

37 companies ran ads during Chris Cuomo's show last Monday night, when Rick Santorum was brought back on CNN after his racist comments about Native Americans.

We asked all 37 of them about continuing to advertise around Santorum's appearances.

And... more than 2 weeks later, after numerous national civil rights and racial justice groups have condemned Santorum's remarks and demanded that CNN fire him, still no comment from CNN about any of it. huffpost.com/entry/cnn-adve…

If you work at CNN and have thoughts about Rick Santorum still being a senior contributor after his racist comments about Native American people and culture, would love to hear from you. We can keep it anonymous.
