What's really insulting about TV is that no one admits that most instant punditry is bullshit

(This is addressed to the talking head industry)

With the sheer number of instant pundits running around Washington DC and New York City, one should be careful to consider the fact that there are just as many opinions as there are the number of these pundit driven assholes.

The point is that the odds being what they are, none of them are factual about a subject that they're blabbering about outside of the maxim that a broken clock is right twice a day.

Hence, while having to pull some talking points out of their dimpled asses, most of them come up with bullshit.

Very, very few people are honest brokers when it comes to uncovering the bodies buried in those towns. They have bills to pay and their paymasters will be none too pleased if actual facts are substituted for the requisite bullshit.

There's a phrase in the Hip-Hop world of which I'm accustomed to as an Internet underground DJ, which says, "Real recognizes real". Real truth is self evident to those who have taken the time and effort to find out what real truth is.

It's not just important to consider the source from which any pundit arises, one must also consider the message.

All you have to do is apply the Smell Test. If it walks like a turd and quacks like a turd, Eureka!, you have bullshit.
