It's someone who isn't on your list: Nate Silver.

His accuracy will change political coverage forever.

Why would illegal aliens (falsely referred to as "undocumented immigrants") be on the list?

Good one! But he's not on TIME's list either (which is where I drew mine from).

Did they affect the news -- for better or for worse? That's the criterion TIME uses.

And what's so inaccurate about referring to them as "undocumented immigrants"?

I don't know.

Why would an anchor baby named Michelle be one of the most popular pundits on a conservative leaning news station?

Things that make you go hmmmm.

It is inaccurate because they are not "undocumented," they are falsely documented. Many of them have phony papers and even social security numbers.

Maybe an even more accurate word should be used... lawbreakers!
