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) - Reuters news agency is admitting it was fooled when it released video from the movie Titanic — in its coverage of the recent Russian expedition to the Arctic sea.

The whole thing might have gone unnoticed — except for a 13-year-old boy in Finland who made the connection — and called the local newspaper.
