can remember, but apparently you haven't bothered to read it even once:
Talk
show hosts are entertainers. They are NOT sources of fact and were
never meant
to be.

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

form of entertainment.

A song and dance man performing on stage or on the radio is called an
-guess what! RIGHT ! AN ENTERTAINER !

Rush Limbaugh, in the 1988 R&R Talk Radio Seminar in Washington, stated he
was first and foremost an entertainer. Talk shows are listened to for their
entertainment value. News shows are listened to for their informational
value.

Paraphrasing a Spanish saying, "you can't get pears from an elm tree."
