It isn’t enough to read a dictionary. You’re being tripped up by an elementary logical fallacy. A dictionary won’t help you to avoid non sequiturs, you need an education for that.

Vetran is playing an absolute blinder today for poor reasoning, even by his own standards..

So why do you think a man that prepares and publishes news (actually in a paid engagement) on the radio and in newspapers is not correctly described as a Journalist? That is what the dictionary definition says. Are you saying the dictionary is wrong or incomplete? Or some other reason?
"a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement"
How does fully satisfying the dictionary definition for a word mean you are using it incorrectly?
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

So are you now saying that Transit vans are cars? The Transit van fully satisfies the dictionary definition for the word "car".

Hmm I see you are having difficulty with this. No you are suggesting VAN=CAR but we expect no more from you.
Maybe if you look up the definition for van you might realise that the definition for car YOU found is incomplete. Maybe approach the dictionary and suggest additional details. Maybe - "primarily designed for carrying people" or similar.
Are you suggesting in desperation to win that the definition of journalist is incomplete?

According to a dictionary, all journalists publish and, since Nigel Farage publishes, Nigel Farage is a journalist. That is basically your argument. It isn't that the dictionary definition of a journalist is incomplete (there isn't a complete definition), it's that you thought you could settle this with a dictionary.
