He wasn't that important or influential. Maybe a small part, but I would say technology, the drive for profits and the "professionalism" of journalism are all far more important than Rush.

Huh? Rush birthed an entire industry. He was to conservative radio what Roger Ailes was to Fox News. In fact it could be argued that his success led to the creation of Fox News.

Fox News isn't that important or influential compared to the entirety of journalism in the country either. Both are interesting bogeymen, but people love to overstate how important they are.

Texas is frozen, the Sox are contenders while the Cubs are "rebuilding", and a guy who hates black people can't even give proper credit to a guy who made a career out of hating black people. What is going on in this world right now?!

It will probably be Hannity. Him and Mark Levin were #2 & #3 behind Rush in conservative talk radio.

Podcast via subscription. O'Reilly was accused of sexual harassment while he was at Fox News, resulting in him leaving.

Growing up my favorite player was Brett, but after that event I lost a lot of respect for him.

I find the level of partisan cheering for people's deaths to be a bad sign.

not sure what to say. was not a fan, and he was a real POS in the things he said politically. Race baiter. But that was his public persona. Not sure how good of a person he was off the air.

I first learned his name around ‘93 when he had a late night TV show that a friend introduced me to during a sleepover. It was also the handle of a kid on a BBS I called. When I asked my dad who this guy was he said he scoffed and said “He’s a right wing asshole.” But later he would admit, “But he did give me national attention when he read my List of satirical Names of NFL teams.”

I listened to his radio show from time to time and occasionally he had a good point here and there. But Bob Grant was 100 times better and a more sincere conservative voice.

Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern. The only two that mattered in radio after TV was invented.
