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.

Lighter News?


Fox News

Future CBS News anchor Katie Couric is looking remarkably thin in a new magazine spread. But it's not the result of some miracle diet.

The photo of the perky newswoman was digitally altered by editors of Watch magazine, which is owned by CBS. Executives say the photo department "got a little zealous," and CBS News President Sean McManus says he was "surprised and disappointed" by the manipulation.

But Couric says she prefers the original photo because "there's more of me to love."
