CONGRESSMAN MIKE PENCE DEFENDS CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO AND T.V., BLASTS MSM ON HOUSE FLOOR

Tells Mainstream Media (MSM): "They may not speak for everybody, but they speak for more Americans than you do"

Applause must be given to U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, for stating what should be obvious to everyone except the Obama sycophants in the "mainstream media," and the Marxist Obama administration. Given that polls show self-identified conservatives outnumber liberals by almost a 2 to 1 margin, and that there are, amazingly, more conservatives than liberals in all fifty states, it's ironic that the "mainstream media" (CNN, New York Times, LA Times, MSNBC, etc.) is even referred to as the "mainstream media," considering only slightly over 20% of Americans refer to themselves as "liberal".

Pence gave the following statement today on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives:

"You know, the American people cherish their freedom of speech and a free and independent press. That's why I found this morning's headlines so troubling. Goaded on by a White House increasingly intolerant of criticism, lately the national media has taken aim at conservative commentators in radio and television. Suggesting that they only speak for a small group of activists and even suggesting in one report today that Republicans in Washington are ‘worried about their electoral effect.'

"Well, that's hogwash."

"To suggest that men and women that are taking a stand for fiscal discipline and traditional values in the national debate today only speak for ‘grassroots activists' is absurd. As evidenced by the hundreds of thousands that filled town hall meetings this summer and the nearly a million Americans who gathered here in Washington in September. Millions of Americans, Republicans, Democrats and Independents are worried about liberal social policies and runaway federal spending, deficit and debt."

"So to my friends in the so-called ‘mainstream media' I say, ‘conservative talk show hosts may not speak for everybody but they speak for more Americans than you do.'"
