Mr. Speaker, the biased liberal media have forgotten their responsibility to our democracy: give the American people the facts, don't tell them what to think. A new report by the Media Research Center shows that coverage of President Trump by the broadcast networks has been 89 percent negative, higher than any other President. Is it any wonder that half of Americans disapprove of the job President Trump is doing? The real wonder is that it is not greater, given what the public hears and reads every day. According to a recent Gallup Poll, 55 percent of U.S. adults say that news organizations' stories are ``often inaccurate.'' Only 36 percent say the media get the facts straight. Commonsense, reasonable Americans would do well to discount the liberal media since they don't provide fair and objective information. ____________________
