Yes, I do think it is all about making a living. Pundits know what to say that will be appreciated by those on the right or those on the left. There are enough of them so that sponsors can get their message out to them. It is, in a word, pandering.
Why do we spend money as well as time on biased reporting andf analysis. For the same reason we do on sports, I guess. Other than on the virtues of team play, sports is about native skill honed to the point where it brings about megabucks because people somehow think that teams represent them, and so when the play-for-business team wins, they win. How sad.
