Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

That medal might as well be the Iron Cross at this point, the way it gets handed out to all the absolute worst people.
Yeah, it was also given to Rush Limbaugh, albeit just before he died. At this point, they could rename it to the Trump/Goebbels medal of fascist propaganda.
What a slap in the face to those who actually earned that level of recognition.
It's a political award. It's always been a political award. It means nothing aside from the fact that whoever is in power can get applause for awarding it to someone their supporters like.
Who?
Fuck Charlie Kirk, Fuck Turning Point USA, and Fuck MAGA. The only good fascist is a dead one.
It's now as devalued as a cereal box prize
Add that medal to the list of things that have absolutely no meaning.
No, these things do have a meaning. The meaning is "fascist".
Gross.
We should let him hand out more medals to all of the right-wing trash. Kirk Kirk Kirk 🔫
I'm running out of swear words to describe trump with...
A lot of good that'll do him in hell.
Nono, this is a good thing. In hell, this award weighs 200 pounds and now it's on his neck as he burns.
Next president should give it to Rosie O Donnel.
