Mr. Speaker, yesterday the President highlighted examples of media bias and irresponsible news stories. All Americans should call out purveyors of fake news and point out slanted coverage. The President is certainly correct in using the term ``fake news'' to describe the media when they intentionally misrepresent his comments and take them out of context. They intentionally omit relevant facts and only report one side of the story, and they intentionally promote a liberal agenda. In a democracy, the media have a profound responsibility to give the American people the facts, not tell them what to think. ____________________
