Rep Lamar Smith (R-TX) is the chairman of the House Science, Space, & Technology Committee, a member of the Committee on Homeland Security, and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He’s a regular bludgeoner of EPA administrator Gina McCarthy, but found a different target for this statement, taking issue with the atrocious manner in which the mainstream media conducted themselves over the course of the election.

In an address from the House floor on Wednesday, Rep Smith said, “The liberal media tried to destroy Donald Trump. Instead they destroyed their own credibility. Their extreme bias is provable. The network media’s coverage of Mr. Trump was over 91% negative and 96% of campaign contributions from journalists went to Hillary Clinton.”

Smith continues, “By a ten to one ratio the American people felt the media were trying to elect Mrs. Clinton. A Gallup poll found that the people’s trust in the media has hit a record low. Has the media learned any lessons? Will they show any humility? Will they now try to be objective? Not likely, given the last few days’ headlines and commentaries.”

Smith concluded, “Until news reporters give the American people the facts rather than expressing their own opinions, there is no reason to believe what they say or write.”
