Mr. Speaker, a recent Morning Consult poll found that nearly half of all voters--46 percent--``believe the media fabricates news stories about President Donald Trump and his administration.'' It is not surprising that the American people feel this way. Each day they wake up to another barrage of negative reporting about a President they elected. In fact, a recent Harvard University study found that news coverage of President Trump's first 100 days was 80 percent negative, a record high for any recent President. The news media used anonymous sources to report illegitimate claims that intentionally placed the President and his administration in a bad light. This is borderline malicious. The liberal media frequently rushed to print stories with one single biased source. Often, the stories turn out to be false. This is the current state of journalism by the liberal media. The media should report on the topics of the day in a fair and balanced manner; otherwise, the American people will continue to consider the media's coverage to be fabricated news. ____________________
