According to an Annenberg poll conducted this spring, about 40 percent of Americans consider Fox News talk show host Bill O'Reilly a "journalist" -- while only 30 percent of the people surveyed said they considered famed Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward to be one.

From Columbia Journalism Review:

The Great Loofalator has had 25 separate stories/mentions of the Ward Churchill kerfuffle since the story broke in January. He criticizes the media's coverage of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal as an instance of the media covering a story to "[advance] an agenda."
