Madam Speaker, the media's daily barrage of negative stories have undermined the public's confidence in their reporting.

If the media were not so biased against the President, more of the American people would know the following: The 4.1 percent unemployment rate for the entire country is the lowest it has been in 17 years; Latino and African-American unemployment numbers are the lowest in decades; The stock market has broken numerous records, adding significant value to Americans' investment and retirement accounts; The economy is growing at 3.3 percent, the fastest in years; Consumer confidence is at a 17-year high. The liberal media should report the facts, even if they make the President look good. ____________________
