These days between Christmas and New Years are the days the media and we personally think back on the year soon ending. And so it is here, as I tally the punditry scores from TPT's Almananc Political Panel and KSTP-TV's At Issue Face-Off segments.
I score based on insight (runs), accuracy (hits), and false statements (errors). False statements are either obvious factual errors like Al Gore makes on global warming or assertions not even close to meeting the burden of proof, like "Bush lied."
Most Reliable and Insightful: Phil Krinke
Honorable Mention: Fritz Knack
Most Unreliable: Wy Spano
Dishonorable Mention: Mary Jo McGuire
Most Reliable and Insightful: David Strom
Honorable Mention: Dave Thompson
Most Unreliable: Ember Reichgott-Junge
Dishonorable Mention: Matt Entenza
