Limbaugh on Journalism Poll

Hotline has the transcript from Limbaugh's radio show yesterday, where he addressed the poll of who's a journalist:


"I'm not a journalist. I've never pretended to be a journalist. For one thing I laugh. For one thing I enjoy life. You know, I'm not dour, I'm not filled with doom and gloom, I'm not a pessimist, I don't dislike the country, and I don't suspect my country's guilty every time there's some sort of international conflict. I'm not a journalist. But I am America's anchorman. I am America's anchorman and for nearly 17 years I've been doing play-by-play of the news here."

"I never wanted to be a journalist. I'm an advocate. I'm a commentator. I mean, I do so much more than just journalism. I do tell people things they don't know. I mean, that is the strict definition of a journalist. I even looked it up in the dictionary, just to be sure -- you never know what the dictionary definition of a term is going to be these days -- and it said: somebody who writes news for broadcast on radio or TV. So the broadcasters themselves are not journalists. The people who write it are, so the people who put the TelePromTer together for the evening news anchors are the journalists. Well, that's according to the dictionary definition."

"I just know the mainstream press is pulling its hair out over this. What really got them is that 40% said Bill O'Reilly is a journalist and that's going to really T them off, especially when [Bob] Woodward chimes in there with like 30% considering him a journalist and a whole bunch don't know and a whole bunch disagree, don't think that he is."
