I'm listening to America, not to the pundits.
In journalism the gold standard has become punditry rather than reporting.
There's a difference between being politically incorrect and boorish. And we've seen that line crossed a dozen times by smart people who've mistaken politics for punditry.
Pundits forecast not because they know, but because they are asked.
The idea behind Mediaite was always to focus on the punditry, focus on the personalities behind the political media.
I am a news presenter, a news broadcaster, an anchorman, a managing editor - not a commentator or analyst. I feel no compulsion to be a pundit.

Well, a general danger of punditry is that there's very little incentive to change your position or admit error. If you reverse your position, the people who backed you before will be unhappy, but a lot of the people who now agree with you will still pillory you.

Political columnists and sports pundits are rewarded for being overconfident.
Andy Gray is a great pundit and a great co-commentator. I couldn't co-commentate for love nor money. I've tried but I just can't do it, so as an all-rounder I'd say Andy's much better than I am.

I really enjoy working as a pundit.
I never wanted to be a pundit.
