Pundit pivot

Pundit pivot

The pundit pivot is a term coined by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show referring to a rhetorical device. It is the acknowledgment by a pundit that other pundits, or some other group of people might naturally and wrongly speculate about the explanation or interpretation of an event or other given set of facts. This acknowledgment is followed by the pundit themselves making the "inevitable" speculation.
