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.

A Few Times Peter Jennings Acknowledged Media Bias

From the Media Research Center:

The MRC's archive is packed with documentation of liberal bias from Peter Jennings, who was frequently cited in CyberAlert, but on this day after his passing we'll focus on how a couple of times he acknowledged the media's liberal tilt. Asked in 2002 about liberal bias, Jennings conceded that "I think sometimes it's a problem" and that historically "there were not enough conservative voices on the air." Last year, Jennings admitted that the media's "focus on the loss of American soldiers and now civilians on a sometimes almost daily basis...overshadows" how "life is improving for people in Iraq in many, many ways."
