                        POLITICALLY BIASED MEDIA

  (Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Morning Consult recently asked 
Americans about their views of television's political bias.
  Respondents were four times as likely to say television programs 
present a more liberal perspective than a conservative one. The liberal 
media, including Hollywood studios, have dismissed the views of most 
Americans. They portray American life in their own liberal image. News 
reports, movies, and TV shows reflect the liberal leanings of the media 
producers, not most American's values.
  To be fair and balanced, the media should represent American families 
and their values, not just the producers' political and cultural 
philosophy.
