There are just three media members on this year's Time 100 list: Tavis Smiley, the women of The View and radio titan Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh's profile for the issue is written by fellow radio host, and Fox News' newest star, Glenn Beck.

"He attracts more listeners with just his voice than the rest of us could ever imagine," writes Beck. "He is simply on another level." Beck describes Limbaugh's "consistency, insight and honesty."

"His career serves as the most successful stimulus package in radio history," he writes. "All without a government dime."
