Political pundit confused by Lib Dem (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dimbleby

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'political pundit' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'confused by lib dem' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'by'+'lib'+'dem'='bylibdem'
'bylibdem' is an anagram of 'DIMBLEBY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for dimbleby that I've seen is " broadcaster".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
