✨ 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.

Economic Indicators Show Mixed Signals: While a U.S.-China tariff truce has provided some market relief, concerns persist over inflation and consumer spending, as evidenced by cautious outlooks from major retailers and upcoming G7 discussions (10, 11, 12).
2. Unique Focus Areas by Political Leaning

3. Notable Narrative Differences
Conservative outlets tend to highlight President Trump's achievements during his Middle East tour, focusing on business deals and diplomatic engagements as markers of success. They also emphasize concerns over domestic policies related to justice and immigration. Moderate sources provide a more balanced view, analyzing the complexities of international diplomacy and economic indicators without attributing successes or failures to specific individuals. Liberal perspectives were limited in today's coverage due to access constraints.
