A pundit is a person who provides commentary or analysis to the media on a given subject (most typically politics, the social sciences, technology or sport).
In the television series Network, Beale, the anchorman for the UBS Evening News, struggles to accept the consequences of the social evils and immorality present in the world. Beale, a seasoned and well-respected anchorman who began his career in 1950 at UBS, had his ratings decline gradually but steadily beginning in 1969. In 1970, after his wife died, he became lonely and began abusing alcohol.
