The Associated Press (AP) found a way to make President Joe Biden look like an American prophet warning about rising energy prices, without mentioning how his anti-oil agenda is contributing to the growing crisis.
AP ran a puff story headlined, “Biden administration sounds alarm on rising energy prices.” The lede paragraph was just as ridiculous: “President Joe Biden’s administration is raising alarms at home and abroad about rising energy prices slowing the nation’s recovery from the pandemic-induced recession.” GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan argued in April that Biden’s energy plan was contributing to rising gas prices. In addition, Bloomberg News reported in July that Biden was “preparing to release a blueprint for limiting sales of U.S. drilling rights that falls short of the outright ban sought by some environmentalists.” The move came “as rising oil and gasoline prices highlight the risks of curtailing domestic crude production,” according to Bloomberg News. World Oil republished the Bloomberg story under the headline: “Biden continues his anti-U.S. oil and gas push while crude demand rises.”
The AP report has since been stealth-edited to reflect a less pro-Biden headline: “Biden team is seeking ways to address rising energy prices.” The lede paragraph has been changed as well.
Guess what: AP’s report didn’t mention the damning context while propping up Biden’s alleged concern about rising gas prices.

High gas prices = lost elections for incumbents.............
Price controls work everywhere./s
Bans Water and then wonders why he’s thirsty
It’s kind of like, “Ted Bundy raises alarm about recent attacks on young women.”
Biden’s handlers are doing everything they can to boost the price of oil.
Notice he has put us at OPEC’s mercy with his stupid policies. Now he has to beg them for relief.
Make OPEC Great Again.
If we only had some means to produce our own......oh wait...
So essentially, Biden has proven that the “Drill, baby, drill” theory as implemented by Trump, actually works. And now that Biden has shut everything down, he’s compassionately warning us about rising gas proces.
This is like Cuomo’s tearful resignation speech yesterday wherein, he said that it would be weeks and months of hearings and investigations that would derail state government and that out of the goodness of his heart he won’t let this happen. Of course he completely omitted the fact that his actions were entirely responsible.
What is it with Democrats? All of them are screw ups yet masters at blaming others for their incompetence or criminality.
The American people are so dumb. They still aren’t revolting over the higher prices. They voted for Biden and Harris and their man-made climate change crackdown policies.
Biden signaled the oil industry to raise prices because no more fracking, no more oil drilling in the US, and no continuing to build the pipeline. Prices went up right away.
Now the man who pushed them into the swimming pool and held their heads under water, then pulled them up and allowed them to live, will be awarded the Lifesaver Citizen Award.
CONTRIBUTING?? Biden CAUSED it!
Trump unleashed American industry, wiped out millions of pages of regulations strangling industry, and in four short years made the USA a net exporter of energy. O'Biden reversed much of that on Day 1 and here we are just seven months later in a Biden-made energy crisis. SEVEN MONTHS!
It feels like seven dreadful years already.
