Since the death of conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday, CNN and the rest of the liberal media have ghoulishly smeared him in their coverage of his death. On Sunday’s
Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter and media analyst Bill Carter doubled down on loathsome attacks that they made on Limbaugh earlier this week.
Stelter questioned if Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis should honor Limbaugh by flying flags at half-staff across the state because “he’s remembered as a hate monger on the left” and Carter declared that Limbaugh’s “views were pretty ugly and they hurt a lot of people.”
Whitney Hollingsworth, 46, wears a lot of hats in life. The Hardy native is the eldest of four; she has three children herself. She holds a degree in religion and philosophy from Roanoke College.
She makes her living selling hearing aids; her spouse is a downtown restaurant owner (Table 50 on Market Street). They live in the Grandin Court neighborhood of Southwest Roanoke.

By the time January 6th rolled around, even the m
Rush Limbaugh, the controversial US talk radio host and ally of former president Donald Trump, has died aged 70.
Limbaugh said a year ago that he had lung cancer. His death was announced on his radio show by his wife, Kathryn.
Unflinchingly conservative, wildly partisan, bombastically self-promoting and larger than life, Limbaugh galvanised listeners for more than 30 years with his talent for sarcastic, insult-laced commentary.

He called himself an entertainer, but his gleeful rants during his three-hour weekday radio show broadcast on nearly 600 US stations shaped the national political conversation, swaying ordinary Republicans and the direction of their party.
