I think I invented a new word: opinioncaster. What do you think of it?

I believe the word “pundit” is already an adequate descriptor of these people.

Or “Talking Head”.

I use talking head a lot. I liked my word because I think ignorant people don’t know the definition of pundit and don’t understand that their favored talking heads are just giving their opinions.

What a horrible term! Bastardization of two perfectly fine concepts.

Call the person a “bullshitter” and I will be assuaged.

I think “opinioncaster” is a kind way of calling newscasters what they are (layers, spinners and SOB’s).

I think it’s a neologistic portmanteau.

I like it. I agree that most folks have no idea what a pundit is and would never look it up. Your word is more clear.

I’ll stick with commentator, opinion writer, editorial staff, analyst, etc.

Sorry, I don’t think anyone would figure out what the meaning is. I couldn’t guess until you explained. Reminds me of spellcaster.

How about the old term bloviator?

Too many syllables in opinioncaster. How about viewcaster?

I like the term. I have also heard “blamethrower”.

At least you’re not saying “pundant”

Thanks everyone. I agree it’s probably too many syllables. I found it interesting how negative some people were about the word.

@SnipSnip I was thinking TV not print. Your terms seem very print oriented to me.

@elbanditoroso I actually was hoping it would be a word they would call themselves. I doubt they would say, “I’m a bullshitter,” but I wish they would.
