Why is the Nighthawk labeled as a fighter, while it carried and dropped bombs?

I guess more than one of their planes is oddly done, is there a technicality for the USAF to justify labeling these planes as fighters?
I think that the F-117 was designed with the capability of launching Sidewinders. I recall that Nighthawk pilots trained to launch said missiles, but obviously the production F-117 lacks that capability.
