BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Morning Consult recently asked Americans about their views of television's political bias.
Respondents were four times as likely to say television programs present a more liberal perspective than a conservative one. The liberal media, including Hollywood studios, have dismissed the views of most Americans. They portray American life in their own liberal image. News reports, movies, and TV shows reflect the liberal leanings of the media producers, not most American's values.
To be fair and balanced, the media should represent American families and their values, not just the producers' political and cultural philosophy.
