Who's a journalist? Limbaugh is, say most conservatives.

By AP
WASHINGTON -- About 40% of Americans say they consider talk show host Bill O'Reilly a journalist -- more than would define famed Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward the same way, according to a poll conducted this spring.

O'Reilly is on the Fox News Channel, offering his often tart conservative opinions, while Woodward has spent a career writing news stories and books.

Only 30% of those polled said Woodward was a journalist, while 53% said they didn't know, despite the fact that Woodward and Carl Bernstein broke the Watergate story that ultimately led to President Nixon's resignation in 1974.

More than a quarter said talk show host Rush Limbaugh was one, while one in five said they considered newspaper columnist George Will to be a journalist.

* More than 25% means about 2/3rds of conservatives who are about 40% of the country. Duped by propaganda dittohead spin-brains.
