Shopping for Pundits

This one went to Harvard. She assures
Us that the world is flat. This one went
To MIT. He warns that vaccines kill.
This one's forecast a recession for so
Long that even his employers, Wall
Street denizens, look at the floor
And walk away. Another warns that
Russia wants to conquer all the West.
A Dartmouth-educated genius tells us
That a cut in taxes will bring higher
Revenues. You watch. You surf
The blogs and channels. Surely,
When your search is over, you'll have
Found an expert who supports what
You believe.

Ah, pundit is a term I've only ever heard used to make reference to the characters on Fox News... so I was surprised to learn today that a pundit is an expert in a particular subject or field who is frequently called on to give opinions about it to the public... when there is no such person at that news station. But yeah, what you say is on point... even if what you support isn't true, you'll find it somewhere, especially on the net.

Absolutely! However, when you think you have found someone, take off your rose coloured spectacles and double check.
