                         MEDIA BIAS ON FILEGATE

  (Mr. FUNDERBURK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FUNDERBURK. Mr. Speaker, I could not disagree more with the 
previous speaker, but today I want to speak about the media bias on 
Filegate.
  Mr. Speaker, where is the national media on filegate?
  Where are the Woodwards and Bernsteins?
  Is the liberal left not shocked and outraged about the invasion of 
privacy of American citizens?
  Are the liberals only outraged when it happens under a Republican 
President?
  During Watergate, Chuck Colson went to prison for looking at one 
personnel file.
  During Watergate, the Washington Post daily pounded the Nixon 
administration and tirelessly worked to find where the trail led.
  Is the national press not interested because they overwhelmingly 
voted for Bill Clinton in 1992?
  There are many unanswered questions.
  Who in the White House hired Clinton's dirty tricksters and to whom 
did they report?
  And finally in Clinton's inaugural address he said he would have the 
most ethical administration in history.
  Since that is clearly not the case, when is the national press going 
to call Bill Clinton on the carpet?
