An organisation's "mission statement" might give you some ideas of things to put in a lead paragraph, and might be worth linking to or quoting if particularly relevant, but certainly it wouldn't often be suitable to serve as the lead itself (I guess there might be a situation where it is, depending).

I reverted your removal of the honorary degree mention in Sean Hannity. Honorary degrees, while having no real academic value, are still significant in terms of a biography. That info is included in numerous other bio articles. For example, the article on Bill Cosby details no less than 9 honorary degrees. There is mention of honorary degrees for Billy Graham, Stephen Colbert, Maya Angelou lists 39 of them, even Benjamin Franklin. So I'd say there is ample reason to leave it in this article as well.
