bartcop (born Terrence R. Coppage September 12, 1953 - March 5, 2014) was a liberal blogger from Tulsa, Oklahoma, active on the web since 1996 who produced his own internet radio show beginning in 2004.

[2] Before the internet, World Wide Web, and the "blogosphere" gained popularity, bartcop was a frequent poster in Prodigy discussion groups.

In the 2004 Democratic Primary, bartcop gave some support to Dennis Kucinich and Howard Dean before finally endorsing Wesley Clark, both because of his military credentials and his closeness to Clinton.

[4] A long-running feature of the page was to publish the text of angry e-mails sent in by opponents, which Bart called "monkey mail".

In 2002, Salon.com infamously fingered Coppage and Marc Perkel as the authors behind the anonymously-published Media Whores Online, a conclusion both vehemently denied.

[5][6] MWO had always linked directly to bartcop's site and an essay of his, The Myth of the Liberal Media,[7] as a kind of mission statement.

bartcop often called these journalists "whores", a perception he claimed has been reinforced by revelations about commentator Armstrong Williams and Jeff Gannon.

To reinforce these criticisms, pictures of the faces of prominent journalists are superimposed on tops of bodies of women dressed as prostitutes.

This view has generated a great deal of critical mail from liberal Jewish readers, but bartcop noted that he also opposed Palestinian suicide bombers and has spoken out against anti-Semites.

He said that Bush betrayed the troops and the country by ordering the invasion of Iraq for what he perceived as the wrong reasons, and he kept a running tally of soldiers killed in the war.

As a part of this support, he routinely posted editorials by liberals who opposed Clinton (Replacing the titles of their pieces with "Why I Hate Her" or similar) and then rebutted them.

bartcop believed Obama could not win the General Election, and therefore nominating him was a terrible idea which would guarantee another Republican victory.
