Mr. Speaker, here are a few recent examples of the national media ignoring stories they don't like. Number one, Attorney General Eric Holder has criticized Arizona's new immigration enforcement law and may file suit against it. However, during a Judiciary Committee hearing last week, the Attorney General admitted he had not even read the law. The national media largely ignored his admission. Number two, the City of Los Angeles recently voted to boycott the State of Arizona because of its new immigration law. A Los Angeles Times online poll found that more than 9 out of 10 respondents opposed the city's boycott. The L.A. Times ignored their own poll results. Number three, hundreds of scientists gathered this week at an international conference to discuss the scientific problems with the theory of human-caused global warming. The media largely ignored the conference. The national media should report all of the facts, not just the ones that support their liberal agenda. ____________________
