I would 100% agree if the punditry did not start before the polls were
closed across the country.  For years now, they barely wait for 6PM ET
before they start.  The "new channel" era has done nothing but make this
worse.

That is a good example.  I would point out, though, that Jimmy is one
individual.  I cannot see political groups, or groups of politicians, doing
so when it comes to policy, just as you probably have difficulty believing
that corporate groups would do so.
