Agree with the others - in a world where every person can freely share their direct opinion, it is more critical than ever to have individuals whose role it is to research, contextualize, and present the issue in a constructive and clear fashion.

The problem of media capture by various groups is an issue, certainly, but that means it's something we have to be wary of and build boundaries against - because the key role they serve is still in place. Throwing out the entire system because of that issue is like deciding that we no longer need doctors because the for-profit medical system is broken.

Pundentry does not provide us with researched, contextualize, constructive editorilizing. These people are bought and paid for. The only outlook they give us is how corporate intrerst will rationalize this so the bottom line stays in tact.
