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' Megyn Kelly Pushes Back When Guest Compares Rep. Cohen’s “Nazi” Comments To Fox News Hosts

(By Mark Joyella, Mediaite) - Fox’s Megyn Kelly talked to Equality Matters’ president Richard Socarides Thursday, discussing the dustup over Rep. Steve Cohen’s recent comments on the floor of the House, when he compared Republicans’ “lies” to the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

On 'America Live', Socarides and Kelly disagreed over whether Cohen’s comments since amounted to an apology or not, and somehow that led to a back-and-forth over Socarides’ belief that Fox News hosts regularly use the same kind of language...




“Every night on the very network that we’re on right now, the leading commenters on this network use this kind of language.”
