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 Hot Air:
It’s difficult to recall a time when the national media treated two candidates so differently in an election than in 2008 with Palin and Barack Obama. I’ve seen nothing like it, not when Geraldine Ferraro ran as the first woman on a major-party ticket, not when George W. Bush ran against Al Gore or John Kerry, not even when Ronald Reagan — who the media intensely disliked at the time — ran against Jimmy Carter.
As for not making things up, I’d just be happy if we didn’t see her daughter’s ex-boyfriend appearing on talking-head shows ever again, with the shows treating the 19-year-old as though he was an eminence grise on all things Alaska and Palin. How many teen-age boyfriends become experts on their girlfriends’ families, anyway?
