Maybe it's just me, but I f****** HATE the media. By "media," I'll largely be referring to the big publications and TV news outlets that have such contempt for their viewers but dress it up with fancy Serious Political Words and sensational web graphics. Now, pundits are supposedly experts who we can trust to break down the complexities of politics and serve it up in a way that we can understand, with information that is directly relevant to the goings-on of the current Presidential administration. As we saw last week from Rachel Maddow's "breathtaking" scoop on Trump's tax returns from 2005, they are more than capable of a swing and a miss. But don't you think that I'll be crapping on the liberal media alone — I have a bone to pick with pretty much every pundit. Here are the twelve signs your pundit is actually a piece of crap.

1. They hype up news that... isn't really news.

While Maddow is the most recent offender, one can indict the entire cast of Fox News for lambasting Clinton during the Benghazi "scandal," MSNBC's desperate attempts to paint Bernie Sanders as racist and so on. If your pundit is intent on grabbing viewers and is too lazy to pony up some good research, they'll be the ones to have a click-baity headline on Twitter and Facebook.

2. Their segment on their network is full of sensationalized, messy graphics.

This sign is almost insulting! Do viewers really need a seizure-triggering amount of information on the screen at one time? It's almost as if these graphics are intended to paper over the pundit's falsified talking points or something...

3. They repeat party propaganda without any sense of irony.

All the outlets are guilty of advancing partisan agendas, but the recent Russian nonsense has caused the media to collectively implode over trying to indict Trump in the most McCarthyist way possible, nevermind that the Soviet Union has been dead for over 20 years.

4. Your pundit constantly sounds like somebody insulted their mom.

Pundits have a tendency for their voice to go to the top of the range and to yell at the viewer. I think the point of this is to stir up anger in those who agree as well as those who disagree with the segment, but really it's just laughable. Just talk normally and convince me your crap political views are relevant.

5. Your pundit thinks Nazis should be given a platform to calmly discuss their genocidal ideas.

Stop booking Nazis on television. They don't need airtime to discuss how white people are superior to everyone else and their innovative ideas on population control. Speaking of Nazis...

6. Your pundit thinks punching Nazis is bad.

This is a big red flag — if your pundit is insistent that Nazis have "free speech," then they're big into respectability politics. Which, as we all know, gets people killed over idiotic, unrealistic notions of what is moral.

7. Their Twitter is full of party propaganda with no sense of self-awareness.

Most, if not all, pundits do this to some extent, but especially egregious offenders include Joy-Ann Reid, Bill O'Reilly and Maddow.

8. Your pundit's job is to be an expert, but quite obviously has no idea what they're talking about.

Ostensibly, pundits are supposed to make things clear and concise, but most pundits failed to predict Trump's election back in November, completely oblivious of the role they played in electing Trump by giving him literal millions of dollars in free air time. If your pundit can't explain why they're right, or why the policy they support is good, then they suck at their job.

9. Your pundit uses obnoxious comedic bits to hide a lack of investigative journalism.

Contrary to liberal thinking, "savage" political jokes do nothing to challenge existing power structures and bring clean water to impoverished communities of color.

10. Your pundit feels compelled to cover every bit of shenanigans from the Trump administration.

Critiquing the administration does NOT involve scrolling through Trump's tweets to find something to point out and say, "this is bad" as though it weren't obvious. We could devote airtime to Meals on Wheels being defunded, or we could focus on the latest bigoted tweet from Trump.

11. Your pundit hates Millennials.

The pundits these days come just shy of calling anyone under the age of 27 a horde of narcissistic idiots, but most of them have a contempt for young people that has no subtext beyond, "you young 'uns should listen to your betters." This form of contempt is largely due to the fact that most pundits make a good bit of money enforcing elitist opinions about the rest of us, and none of you should have any illusion that pundits' opinions are any more important than yours.

12. Your pundit is a f****** racist.

All white pundits are racist — I've yet to see a single pundit on either liberal or conservative news that had the balls to radically support #BlackLivesMatter or ask Trump to end the #NoDAPL. Sometimes it's blatant, sometimes it's subtle, but the large portion of them are a hop and a skip away from being Nazis.

If your favorite talking head falls into even one of these categories (which they most certainly do), it's time for you to turn off the TV, turn on the Internet and start researching your own political opinions instead of expecting experts to do it for you.
