pundit
by hot east on Aug 01, 2012 21:18:48
A person who claims to be an expert and markets him or herself as such, but has no discernable income or prior background being a practitioner in the subject matter they purport to represent. These individuals are usually offered
talking points and a buried
stipend (read: paid off) by a special interest group, such as a political party or industry lobby then go on to blog or make media appearances promoting their point of view to the
detriment of people who are real-life practitioners and subject matter experts.
Example:
Andy is a pundit on technology issues but doesn't seem to have any real-world experience doing the things he promotes. Through some
digging we can
discover he is actually an industry
shill.
