'An award named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg has gone to a slate of accomplished
women since it was launched four years ago to honor the legacy of the late
Supreme Court justice known for championing women's rights and liberal causes.
This year is different.

Next month, the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation will present the Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award to four men and Martha Stewart. Among the
winners are two convicted felons, the founder of right-wing Fox News, and Elon
Musk.

Stewart, Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Milken and Sylvester Stallone are the
five "iconic" and "exceptional" recipients of the 2024 RBG Leadership Award,
the organizing foundation said in a news release on Wednesday.

Ginsburg's family is blasting the foundation's selection of this year's
recipients, saying the decision is an "affront" to the memory of the late
justice and her values.

"This year, the Opperman Foundation has strayed far from the original mission
of the award and from what Justice Ginsburg stood for," Jane Ginsburg, daughter
of the Supreme Court justice, said in a statement.'

Is this some sort of sick joke?
