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.

John Stossel...

Steve opines: This seems kind of a funky way to illustrate Adam Smith's "invisible hand," but Stossel is so good at connecting with Joe and Jane Sixpack, I say more power to him. This is the kind of thing that gets Ayn Rand in trouble with liberals and socialists. Maybe Stossel will have more success with it.
I agree that Stossel is good at connecting with the average American out there... He's articulate and he's got good ol' fashion common sense.
