Noting this positive profile of Andy Revkin on NPR, a reader of Andrew Sullivan's suggests there's an upside to Limbaugh's recent drive-by:

Rush's listeners were reading Revkin prior to his attack, but this NPR-listener is going to check out his blog. Well done Rush: You just gave Revkin a few thousand more readers.

I noticed that Joe Romm found the NPR profile useful too, with this recent headline at Climate Progress:

No wonder polling shows more people don't know the scientific evidence that humans are warming the Earth has grown stronger. Revkin stunner on NPR: "I've made missteps. I've made probably more mistakes this year in my print stories than I had before."

Clever conflation there.
