Rush has never claimed to be a "journalist". He is a radio show host and a political commentator - not a journalist. His show is billed as a radio talk show, not a news cast. He references other publications and news services and actually comments and opines on the contents of the stories as well as the events of the day. journalist: a person engaged in journalism (which is defined as writing designed for publication in a newspaper or magazine b : writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation) commentator: one who gives a commentary; especially : one who reports and discusses news on radio or television (commentary is defined as a systematic series of explanations or interpretations or an expression of opinion) The biggest thing to remember is that when a person is giving their opinion on the news they are a commentator. When they are reporting the news as a factual basis it is journalism. Problem is that so many journalists will include their commentary in with their journalistic effort that the news becomes this skewed caricature of the truth.
