    He does a political broadcast with supporters phoning in to say “Love the show Nige”

    It’s not exactly balanced journalism.

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        There's only one correct point of view, and if it doesn't correspond with the Mods' own view, any other opinion must therefore belong to a twat.

          Do you believe that being a radio show presenter makes that person a journalist?

                Your quotation suggests that a journalist may present news stories on the radio. It doesn't suggest that being a radio show presenter makes that person a journalist.

                  It says if you prepare news stories for radio (he does it is a current affairs talk show) and or write for a paper (he does for the Independent & Telegraph).

                  As I say he is , you may not like it.

                  I don't think Tracey Emin is an artist but by definition she is.

                    Ok so we agree it is journalism.

                      I asked whether being a radio show presenter makes that person a journalist. You then posted a definition from a dictionary that didn't say that, but you said that it did.

                      Why did you do that?
