                         MEDIA SHOWS THEIR BIAS

  (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, the media's credibility is at a new 
low, and it is self-inflicted. That is because they have set out on a 
maniacal mission to destroy anyone who doesn't bow to their political 
views. Why? Clearly, one person poses a threat to the media's liberal 
views. He wants to secure the borders; they want mass amnesty for 
illegal immigrants. He wants to reduce government regulations; they 
favor more government control. He opposes political correctness; they 
support speech police.
  The liberal media think they know better than the American people 
what is good for them. Let's hope the voters won't let the liberal 
media tell them what to think or how to vote. The future of our 
democracy depends on a fair, balanced, and unbiased media.
