The Nature of a Pundit

So I was internet surfing the other day(as I do) and came across this interesting clip of Keith Olbermann on Youtube. He was venting about Fox News (as he does), but I found the most interesting quote from the clip to come from a Huffington Post contributor:

“There are two different kinds of people out there in the world: The Warriors…and then theirs the rest of us. I am like Sean Hannity, one of those cowards…who has refused throughout my life to enter the military and ever subject myself to anything dangerous occupationally were I might lose a tooth. That is exactly Sean Hannity’s approach to life, and he has exactly the same cowardly fear that I do of combat or submitting myself to anything of the kind of risk that the American military does. And so people who live where Sean Hannity lives, in those safe places…they think torture works because it would work on them. Because they are soft, they are weak people compared to our military service people and they would crack under torture…But…the people who have devoted their lives to destroying their enemies, the people who are willing to die in their exercises…Sean Hannity thinks torture is gunna work on them because he has never, never known the kind of commitment that those people have. Nothing he has done in his life measures that kind of commitment that the American military has or our enemies have…”

I think this quote speaks to the nature of a pundit. And when I say pundit, I mean both liberal pundits (like Keith Olbermann) and conservative pundits (like Sean Hannity). They’re both just close-minded talking heads that try to appeal to a targeted demographic. But in all reality, they’re just as blind to the truth as their political counterparts. It’s a shame that millions of Americans take what these pundits say seriously and even entertain their topics in public discourse. Anyone who blindly follows these cable news idiots are fucking sheep and deserve to be financially taken advantage of by the system. Grow some balls and stand up for what you believe, and don’t just follow anything these fuckin coward bitch made fuck boyz say.
