On Feb. 5, 2020, The Onion published an article positing that the conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh had said his receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom had been tarnished after he discovered that the honor had previously been bestowed upon the civil rights icon Rosa Parks and the poet Maya Angelou. This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: The First Amendment protects satire as a form of free speech and expression. The Onion uses invented names in all of its stories, except in cases where public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
