The Associated Press (AP) tried to run cover for President Joe Biden by gaslighting readers on his role in rising gas prices.
AP ran another one of its useless “fact-checks” headlined, “AP FACT CHECK: House GOP falsely blames Biden for gas prices.” The piece railed that “Biden's policies aren't behind the price increases.” It continued: “Gas prices are up because of a rapid and unexpected bounce-back in demand, and because of lingering problems from the forced shutdown early this month of the Colonial Pipeline, which provides 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast.” It’s too bad for AP then that Fox Business ran an April story, headlined “Biden's energy plan contributing to gas price increases: GasBuddy analyst.” [Emphasis added.]
AP might as well be Iran.
Bounce back bullstalin
This is Jho Xiden’s baby. Everyone knows it.
It's almost like a game to see who can fabricate the most inane comments.
A slick willy can argue both sides of almost any issue.
I remember a budget guy once gave me an explanation for why the actuals came in higher than forecasted. Someone corrected him and said the actuals came in lower than forecast. He then instantly gave a rationale for the underrun.
It’s hard to say it’s not when before he was elected Trump and everyone else was saying gas prices would go up under Biden.
Sigh. Lying and running cover to protect their guy IS NOT gaslighting.
For the millionth time.

All Propaganda.
Don’t believe anything you read in the democrat media !!!
The U.S. media cannot be trusted on anything. They are simply the propaganda wing of the Democrat party and will spew the party line and protect its members. It seems our government agencies are the same, as are big tech.
I usually believe the opposite. And if it appears to be good for the right and bad for the communist...I think what are the covering up or what are they setting us up for?
This is called: fact-checking the AP fact-checkers.
The problem with the liberal fact-checkers is that, they only fact-check when republicans deride a policy implemented by liberals. IOW, the fact-checking by liberals is meant to always defend the indefensible liberal idiocies.
The AP would also do a fact-check against republicans and right-leaning media, where they blame the massive border crossings on the Biden administration’s decision to open the borders and remove all of Trump’s policies which were very effective in stopping the illegal alien crossings. The AP_ would find a way to blame Trump, just like Biden has done.
Hey joe what’s your favorite ice cream flavor
They might as well be Pravda.
Simply deny the obvious. Biden is alone responsible for current inflation, particularly higher gas prices. No one has any illusions, except the discredited MSM.
Rise in gas prices was pretty damn coincidental with the initiating of his policies...
How about the media just make a blanket policy, good=Biden did it, bad=Trumps fault.
