You left out Juan Williams and James Carville. I picked Bill Maher and Chris Mathews. Oh and Greta isn't a pundit, she's a presenter on Fox.

The poll is regarding pundits, talking heads, commentators and infotainers. Greta Van Susteren definitely qualifies.

He he...yep. Infotainers are quasi-journalists you can sort of take seriously to present you with current political news and such, but their purpose is geared more toward entertainment value.

Quote:
Infotainers are entertainers in infotainment media, such as news anchors or "news personalities" who cross the line between journalism (quasi-journalism) and entertainment within the broader news trade. Notable examples in the U.S. media are Barbara Walters, Katie Couric, Bill O'Reilly, Maury Povich, Deborah Norville, and Geraldo Rivera among others.
Infotainment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My poll is geared toward infotainers who dabble in political quasi-journalism and commentary, along with political pundits, talking heads and commentators.
