A person who comments on the news (wether a lawyer, garbage collector
or talk show host) is not being an ENTERTAINER- he is being- guess
what? RIGHT! A NEWS COMMENTATOR !


A person commenting on the news is - guess what? RIGHT! He's NOT A
REPORTER! The commentary is an OPINION!


A person who says he is reading a news report verbatum right off the
wire service is a NEWS REPORTER


uh....no he's not. If he reads a news item, then comments on it, he is not
a reporter, but a commentator. Commenting on the news item he just read.
Now if someone does this, you've heard the news story and you've heard the
opinion. You can decide. Oh wait - you want to decide for everyone else
what they hear. Maybe you could try China. Or Cuba.
