Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Main Stream Media

Tucker Miller opines:

A year or two ago I came across an article (via a republican poli-sci professor) that cited a study showing that self-described conservatives who regularly had political conversations with other self-described conservatives were almost three-hundred times more likely to say that the "MSM" was liberally biased--than were self-described conservatives who did not regularly discuss politics with other conservatives. I don't know exactly what that means, but...
Individual reporters may tend to be left leaning, but the wealthy executives who make the decisions as to what stories are even examined and discussed, undoubtedly lean towards the right.
The "MSM" has no liberal agenda (or a conservative agenda)-- they have a CORPORATE agenda.
