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.

From The Next Right:

Finally, a Republican campaign that is unafraid to explicitly take on the media.

This is the kind of thing that would have been shot down in the past for jeopardizing the campaign's relationship with the Fourth Estate. Of all campaigns, McCain's should know that nothing good can come of playing footsie with the media. McCain did that for years, and what has it gotten him as far as this campaign goes?

The media is a strategic actor in the campaign, not simply an observer. It was time to treat them as such.

Wild guess here, but I'll bet McCain's online fundraising wasn't bad today.
