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.

Reuters chicanery exposed at Little Green Footballs

Click the title link.

Read LGF for the entire story, but here are the Reuters photos in question.





Here is a link to Reuters' retraction.

LGF is one of the sources (along with Free Republic and Powerline) that broke the Dan Rather Texas Guard document fake. Here, they catch Reuters with their pants around their ankles.

I'll be the first to say that everyone makes mistakes. A retraction of an honest error is good enough for me. This is obviously not an honest error. This, along with countless other blatant instances of propaganda, makes me wonder why anyone would continue to take Reuters seriously as an objective news source. They rank right up there with the BBC in the list of news sources I can always disregard without fear of missing anything.
