Biased POV

The Lede section says:
"Limbaugh has mentioned his audience has continued to grow to 14 million listeners each day and 27 million each week[8]."

That link leads to:
"And then during the week 27 million people, not all at one time, but 27 million cume is what that is. And it continues to spike up out there, and we thank you, and we have the greatest appreciation for it, and we understand why: Me."

Yer kidden me, right? This article needs cleaning up.

I agree with the above, especially now with the added attention. --Ommar365 (talk) 03:16, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He just got the presidential medal of freedom

Probably should be in the article? Victor Grigas (talk) 02:55, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deserves to be in the opening paragraph lead as well. This would be the biggest award he has ever received, and will likely be a defining moment in his life. 2601:982:4200:8C80:B421:B2F8:6EEC:6816 (talk) 18:06, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alma Mater

Is there any point in listing an "Alma Mater" for someone when they only attended 2 semesters and "flunked everything"?

Absolutely not. I'll fix that. -- BullRangifer (talk) 17:28, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The comment: "Thankfully he is dying"

This needs to be removed. It is unprofessional and mean spirited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jduffy9 (talk • contribs) 18:18, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Birther promoter

Limbaugh was a promoter of the birther movement (Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories) per ES. X1\ (talk) 00:07, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cochlear implants

I just saw Rush Limbaugh on TV (at Trump's SOTU address) and it looks like he has two cochlear implants while the article mentions only one. Maybe someone can find a secondary source and update the article. I'm not gonna do that myself since I don't follow his activities in general. 2601:648:8202:96B0:0:0:0:E118 (talk) 02:27, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
