Sources incredibly biased[edit]

Complaining, not a legitimate request Dronebogus (talk) 14:14, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sources used for this article come almost entirely from places like Huffington Post or Media Matters, who are unapologetically pro-DNC\critics of Limbaugh. Franken's book, for example, was rife with inaccuracies but that is not mentioned here either. Claims by Limbaugh's critics are treated as unimpeachable and not examined for accuracy. 2601:C2:680:31B0:12B:7077:890E:5507 (talk) 01:56, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You should suggest specific edits or do it yourself! CWenger (^@) 02:00, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Suggesting edits is better, since the IP seems to have been misled by Limbaugh's lies and will probably use unreliable sources, if any. --Hob Gadling (talk) 07:29, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 28 February 2023[edit]

Change "controversial race-related statements" in the section on race to "racist statements". This is more accurate. Tomjoyner (talk) 15:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have now made this edit twice and it has been reverted twice to euphemistic phrases that the Associated Press Stylebook recommends against using. Not sure why the editors of this page are tiptoeing around calling objectively racist statements racist. Is there any serious question about whether the statements cited in this section are racist?

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. M.Bitton (talk) 15:42, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ToC[edit]

Why is there no table of contents? Other long Wikipedia articles have one. 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:AC39:F311:DC1E:D05F (talk) 03:02, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is. Slatersteven (talk) 10:34, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Find-a-Grave[edit]

Under the External Links section of the article, I respectfully suggest adding a link to Rush’s entry in find-a-grave, thus: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/223083407/rush-limbaugh 174.131.164.163 (talk) 01:40, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We generally don't link to Find-a-Grave per WP:FINDAGRAVE-EL. CWenger (^@) 03:02, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Influence and Legacy[edit]

In the immediate aftermath of Rush Limbaugh's death, content creator Tommy Marcus posted a screen shot to social media of an $100 donation to Planned Parenthood in memory of Rush Limbaugh. Tommy Marcus, better know by his instagram handle Quentin.Quarantino, was able to successfully crowdsource over $1.2M in charitable donations to Planned Parenthood in Rush Limbaugh's Memory through Instagrams fundraising platform. This posthumous philanthropy in Limbaugh's honor is largely seen as tongue-in-cheek given Limbaugh's highly conservative views on abortion and the satirical nature of Quentin.Quarantino's social media presence.
