Political columnists and sports pundits are rewarded for being overconfident.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am not overconfident.
I'm not sophisticated when it comes to politics, when it comes to journalism.
We're generally overconfident in our opinions and our impressions and judgments.
Look, everybody in journalism has a reputation of sorts.
A journalist covering politics, most of us are aware of the necessity to try to be sure we're unbiased in our reporting. That's one of the fundamentals of good journalism.
You will find in politics that you are much exposed to the attribution of false motive. Never complain and never explain.
The problem with the professional political class is they make money regardless of who wins.
Some people are in positions of power, and when incentives go haywire, we are all human and it's easy to make mistakes. I am not saying everybody is Bernie Madoff.
There is so much hypocrisy in sports.
Let's not be overconfident, we still have to count the votes.
