Description

One week Pep is a genius. The next he’s “overthinking.” The same tactic is either revolutionary or reckless depending on the result. This is punditry in 2025; outcome bias, tribal narratives, and entertainment over explanation.


We unpack:

- Why Amorim gets slammed for the same system Pep gets praised for

- How pundits flip-flop to feed the attention economy

- Why modern punditry blurs into fandom and banter

- How fans can cut through the noise and find real analysis
