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.

Fox News, sex & the news

"It's depressing, but modern TV news programs strike me as only bookends for advertisements. It's sad that offering actual 'rough drafts of history' is less common in today's television media, and most of this 'news' is styled to suit viewer politics and shallow interests (Fox's 'Fair And Balanced' right wing propaganda especially comes to mind, but there are plenty of liberal media examples as well. Just ask the conservative half of The Bully Pulpit - I'm sure they can tell you all about it.)"

Hey Strother: Aren't you doing what you say Fox News & other news organizations do??? Isn't this propaganda??? I don't have a problem with pundits analyzing the news, but I have a problem when journalists do it because that isn't their job.

With regard to the Fox News babes: They make watching the news so enjoyable. :-)
