Different people, I know, but it won’t be an RBG situation. Their relative impact on society at large aside, the comparison in treatment is instructive in the landscape/bias of mass media. With RBG, the tenor of coverage was her ‘positive’ impact and how she was a ‘trailblazer’. With Limbaugh the tenor will be muted, with couched negativity (veiled insults) and a likely a focus on his effect on the current ‘climate’.
Dude absolutely changed concepts in radio, and had a massive impact on conservatism. You won’t hear about it except in conservative publications.
