Anti-Political Punditry

A Point of View

Available for over a year

Adam Gopnik argues that the votes cast in America's primary in New Hampshire say far less about shifts in political opinion than the pundits and commentators claim. "It takes less 'anger' and 'alienation' than a mild reshuffling of the ideological deck in a peculiarly shaped contest to produce results that look, on first glance, revolutionary." Producer: Sheila Cook.
