           NATIONAL MEDIA IGNORE NEWS STORIES THEY DON'T LIKE

  (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, here are a few recent examples of 
the national media ignoring stories they don't like.
  Number one, Attorney General Eric Holder has criticized Arizona's new 
immigration enforcement law and may file suit against it. However, 
during a Judiciary Committee hearing last week, the Attorney General 
admitted he had not even read the law. The national media largely 
ignored his admission.
  Number two, the City of Los Angeles recently voted to boycott the 
State of Arizona because of its new immigration law. A Los Angeles 
Times online

poll found that more than 9 out of 10 respondents opposed the city's 
boycott. The L.A. Times ignored their own poll results.
  Number three, hundreds of scientists gathered this week at an 
international conference to discuss the scientific problems with the 
theory of human-caused global warming. The media largely ignored the 
conference.
  The national media should report all of the facts, not just the ones 
that support their liberal agenda.
