MEDIA BIAS IS A GREAT THREAT -- (House of Representatives - September 27, 2008)

Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, whether it is a financial crisis or Presidential debate, the media just can't seem to help themselves. They always show a bias against Republicans. That is no surprise, since they make contributions to Senator Obama over Senator McCain by a 20-1 ratio.

The greatest threat our country faces is not an economic recession; it is a partisan bias. The media should give the American people the facts, not tell them what to think. Otherwise, we will lose our democracy, which is a greater danger than the economy.

The media is hurting its credibility for the future. They should instead adhere to the highest standards of journalism and report the news fairly and objectively.
