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.

This Isn't CNN

Fox News

CNN’s decision to show video of Iraqi insurgent snipers targeting U.S. troops has gotten it kicked out of one Midwestern hotel chain. James Thompson — who owns Stoney Creek Hospitality Corporation — has dropped CNN and Headline News from the cable lineup in his 10 hotels in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin.

Thompson tells FOX News he made a "judgment of conscience" after seeing the sniper video — which he calls an "obscenity" that was "personally offensive and shocking." He says his company "will not be a party to propaganda for terrorists."
