Here are demographics of "The Atlantic's" 2009 Atlantic 50 list of the 50 most influential pundits. I found backgrounds of 48.5 of the 50: 96% white 82% male 50% ethnically Jewish 23% ethnically R Catholic 20% ethnically Protestant 3% Armenian 2% black 1% Hisp 2% Muslimhttps://twitter.com/maxdenken/status/998353296568954880 …

Replying to @Steve_Sailer
How might we weigh a handful of "most influential" opinion elite against the vast number nipping at their heels...? Everything from Slate, Salon, TNR, NY, NYer, HuffPo, BuzzFeed, Gawker, etc. Gender breakdown probably mirror's STEM imbalances. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jan/27/us-study-finds-publishing-is-overwhelmingly-white-and-female …pic.twitter.com/lJqVYPJVQW

For the purposes of learning the demographics of pundits, I didn't want to come up with my own list of who I think are the top pundits because that would inject my biases. I was happy to use for my purposes The Atlantic's mainstream list of who they thought were the top pundits.
