Does anyone know if it's proper etiquette to call yourself a doctor when it's an honorary degree?

At our TV station, we have been told not to refer to Jerry Falwell as Dr. Falwell because he just has an honorary doctorate and hasn't received anything past his bachelor's degree, I believe. He still calls himself Dr. Falwell all the time, though, and his flock believes he's well-educated because of it.
