Beware Punditry


Okay, I admit, from time to time, I like a good pundit.  But lately, in my estimation, some pundits have been pushing it.  They are throwing their ideas around like they have weight, and causing polls to swing wildly. They are calling winners of debates with wild abandon. They are confusing people, causing undecideds to be decided. They are scaring children with their opinions. Parents need to be sure their children are out of the room when pundits are on the television.  Or at the very least, discover the mute button and use it.  Pundits are harmless when mute.
