The "notable" sections subheaders make no sense. ħumanUser talk:Human 01:45, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Left/right of reasonable[edit]

What does the section "Left/right of reasonable" refer to? Are they all "unreasonably" leftwing or rightwing? If so, what is meant by "reasonable?" Blue (is useful) 05:20, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I initially had an idea that it was parodies of pundits until I saw several names who I knew were not parodies of media, such as the Rachael Maddow. So far, it just seems to mean "pundits we agree with a reasonable amount of time and two parodies of pundits and excesses of newscasters". Crow7878 (talk) 00:14, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

What exactly does it mean to be a "wingnut in waiting"?[edit]

And how would Bill Kristol be 'dubious', exactly? Rabbitxhampster (talk) 00:09, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Judging from the list, less popular, and occasionally reasonable, but those are just WAGs. Тytalk 00:17, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Michael Savage and Hal Turner don't really have a reputation for being of the occasionally reasonable sort. Although they are less popular. They're actually considered some of the craziest of the wingnuts. Rabbitxhampster (talk) 00:25, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
As in "in waiting" is less popular, while "dubious" is occasioanally reasonable. Тytalk 00:36, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

John Oliver should undoubtedly be either "angry" or "wingnut"[edit]

This article is biased as hell. Whoever made this sincerely thinks that John Oliver presents a balanced view? — Unsigned, by: 212.219.117.144 / talk / contribs

Question[edit]

The term is derived from Sanskrit - is this an example of cultural appropriation? Anna Livia (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Just a dumb list[edit]

What is gained from this list that isn't already covered by a category? --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 02:06, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, it's an awful listicle. How about redirecting it to the category? GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 21:28, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
I'm not really a fan of having category redirects in the mainspace. If anyone wants to turn this into an actual article, it would be appreciated. Plutocow (talk) 22:04, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
The old opening section before the list is at least a start in that direction. Future steps should involve including the roles and impacts that pundits can have on politics, ecology, science, etc. --Luigifan18 (talk) 00:10, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
Just delete this dumb list. A section just for "Angry" pundits, wow, how useful. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 02:19, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
I deleted the list then. GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 01:16, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
