✨ About Logic Bully
Hi, I’m Scott. I started this site as a way to teach my two kids, Brooke (8) and Wade (6), about a wide range of topics in a fun, consistent way. The plan? Walk through things like:
How to use GenAI to create and review content
The value of showing up every day (this will post every morning)
Basics of marketing and branding (I’ll be learning this one right alongside them)
Playing with data (once we have more subscribers… cue my nerd moment)
And now, for the standard “About” section...
At Logic Bully, we pull from a wide range of conservative, liberal, and moderate sources to bring you a daily news summary you can skim in just a few minutes. Our goal is to give you the full picture—what’s happening, how it’s being spun, and where different sides stand—so you’re informed quickly and clearly. No rants, no rabbit holes. Just the gist, from every angle.

Liberal Sources:
Former President Joe Biden accused Donald Trump of "modern-day appeasement" regarding Russia, warning that failure to support Ukraine could erode democratic norms globally (6).
The Trump administration’s decision to allow Voice of America to rebroadcast far-right OAN content has triggered outrage from media watchdogs, who view it as a violation of VOA’s neutrality charter (7).

Liberal outlets framed it as a blatant conflict of interest and suggested foreign entanglements should be investigated (6, 10). Moderate reports leaned on legislative reactions from both parties without editorializing, focusing on the scale of the investment and political ramifications (10).
