political commentator
News opinion voice
A political commentator is someone who analyzes and offers opinions on political events, policies, and figures, typically through media appearances, columns, or broadcasts.
Unlike reporters, commentators are expected to express views rather than maintain neutrality: The network's political commentators debated the president's speech.
The role ranges from serious analysts to partisan provocateurs.
