Perspectives on Rush Limbaugh Receiving Medal of Freedom

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Media coverage was split politically after President Donald Trump awarded conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom at the State of the Union Address on February 4. Some left-rated voices argued his 'tirades' should disqualify him from receiving the medal, while right-rated outlets generally concentrated more on his influence on conservatism and radio. Limbaugh recently announced that he was diagnosed with terminal cancer; the medal is the highest civilian honor in the U.S.
