My apologies for being unclear. My point was the same as yours---Rush does NOT purport to be a journalist:

However, in his defense, he doesn't purport to be a journalist. Like Rush Limbaugh, he is a political talk show host.

In fact, you WERE clear. My apologies, I see your point.
Although not totally germane, I am sure that you would
agree that the distinction between Limbaugh and Matthews
is that Limbaugh doesn't pretend to be neutral, Matthews
does. Maybe it is because of the nature of the mediums
they each serve.
