Talk:Pundit

message: How is it possible that Bill O'Reilly, who anchored Inside Edition until 1995, led Bill Maher to political punditry, when Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect debuted in 1993?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.234.62.130 (talk) 14:58, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Bill O'Reilly retroactively inspires Bill Maher to express his political opinions

message: I find it slightly offensive to those who have spent their time achieving a status as a respected figure in political commentary to be group with comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Their shows are not shows of political commentary, rather they are shows of political satire. It's ludicrous to put them in the ranks of Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Nancy Grace and the like. The list, as said below, is extremely arbitrary. If this list stays on the page, there should be a noticeable difference between a comedian and a respected political commentator. --72.208.130.58 (talk) 04:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Difference between political pundit and satirical pundit

message: I support this merge, I can't see any reason not to do this -- its is just a capitlization thing.  --Ben Houston 17:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Pundit (politics)]] and [[Pundit (Politics)]] Merge

message: What's the relevance of the following: "Sports commentators and analysts are also commonly referred to as pundits."  This article is about political pundits, and there's already a disamb page for "pundit."  Second, this article should be merged with political commentator, as that one is a stub and covers the exact same material. - IstvanWolf 01:38, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the article isn't (meant to be) just about policial pundits - the entry on Pundit reads "Pundit (politics), an expert or opinion-leader, particularly in the field of political analysis" (note the 'particularly'). A move to a slightly less politics-central name may be in order to reduce confusion, but sports pundits and political pundits aren't separate enough to properly warrant separate articles on the different usages of the term. --Sam Pointon 01:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved the page to Pundit (expert). It makes more sense and reflects what is being linked here - a large proportion of links were from sport - and paticularly soccer - realted articles. --Robdurbar 11:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  2 quick things 

message: I removed Stephen Colbert from the list of pundits. Unless, you want to include Jon Stewart in a list of journalists.
: Why? Pundit is, sort of, a term of endearment (for real, or ironically), whereas journalism is a profession. I'll add Stephen Colbert (and I'm not even a Democrat, since I'm Swedish...).

thread_title:  Colbert? 

message: I came here wondering if bloggers can be considered pundits. Any thoughts?
: I'm all for it.

thread_title:  What? 

message: “Political commentator” redirects here, but here it says a “pundit” often “partners with a commentator”, so a commentator is not a pundit. Is a political commentator a pundit, or is that a commentator? The redirection makes no sense.—Gniw (Wing) 16:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I've heard that the word "punditry (not "pundit") is a Bushism. Is this true? SteveSims (talk) 05:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Did Bush invent "punditry"?

message: Isn't "pundit" a somewhat informal term and wouldn't commentator be a better title for this article? Nurg (talk) 02:52, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article title change to "commentator" 

message: If someone wants to learn about it, the link is there to click. I removed the phrase. If a "simple English" wiki is made, consider re-including it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gluerman (talk • contribs) 01:46, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sanskrit: "a language from ancient India"??? 

message: I guess that the origin of the word is Sanskrit or Hindi. --Abhijeet Safai (talk) 07:50, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of the word 

message: It would be good to describe/mention the difference between a pundit and an expert (because in other languages this specification is not existing). Thank you.--F.Blaubiget (talk) 02:06, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pundit vs. expert 

message: This page is a grammatical, narrative mess that constantly changes subjects between paragraphs and has little depth. For example, it takes the Sanskrit origin of the term but then no information on how the term came into contemporary usage (Sanskrit is over 2,000 years old). It uses “e.g.” wrong when talking about Karl Marx and makes no grammatical sense. It then randomly says that “talking head” is an offensive term. I have no idea where to even start with this page but I’m hoping someone with more experience can step in and help Glenohumeral13 (talk) 00:12, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
