"O has always stated that his show is NOT a news show and that he is not a newsman."
---That is absolutely untrue!! BOR states that he is a newsman like Rather, Jennings, and Brokejaw and that Rush is the "entertainer". Just go back to his Rather comments when he in fact said paraphrasing here "there's no way a journalist like me or Rather or Brojaw would knowingly used forged documents"
One can be a journalist and not be a newsman. O has NEVER claimed to be a newsman, in fact, he states unequivocally that he is NOT.
