                         POLITICAL BIAS AT NPR

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I think it is important for this body to 
take a few minutes to discuss and deal with the recent headlines 
regarding the National Public Radio editor who made public that 87 out 
of 87 members of their editorial newsroom staff registered Democrat--
not one registered Republican.
  It is obviously of interest, and it should be of particular interest 
to fair-minded people everywhere and Republicans in particular.
  We, right now, are losing the culture, and members of the Republican 
Party are the ones who stand athwart and support the Constitution, try 
to defend it, and try to keep America the great country it has always 
been.
  It is a very difficult thing to get sympathy in our quest from the 
public as a whole when news outlets have an overwhelmingly leftwing, 
anti-American bias.
  I would like to congratulate--normally a Democrat--Uri Berliner for 
being able to step out and try to publicize a true diversity problem at 
NPR and hope that in the future our Appropriations Committee discusses 
this problem.
