Years ago, ABC News' Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters were the go-to journalists if you wanted to break news or get a big interview.

Who is that now?

Oprah is a journalist. She is a media executive, a media tycoon. She started out in radio.

She is a 60 Minutes contributor.

I guess it betrays my bias toward reading that when I saw your title line, I immediately thought of long-form print journalism, like the excellent pieces in The New Yorker or the New York Times magazine on Sunday.

I don't watch that kind of thing much - and I certainly wouldn't credit Barbara Walters for anything, as I've always despised her for throwing away her opportunity as a prominent early woman in TV journalism by doing such lightweight interviews. But I'll point out that Christiane Amanpour is doing interviews five nights a week on PBS, without commercials.

Well, for Trump, it seems to be the NYT. As much as he complains about 'the failing NYT" - it's the first place he goes to give an interview.

I so old I pre-date Oprah... I'm sorry, but there isn't a journalist today that I can think of that I truly trust. There are commentators and opinion person's but a journalist. Nope. My kingdom for Woodward and Bernstein, Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite. All I need from a journalist is Who, What, Where, When and Why. Give me those and I'll form my own opinion.....

Rush Limbaugh is a radio talk show host and political commentator. His show is not to be confused with journalism and he is no journalist.
