CNN just can’t seem to get its story straight. The network has toggled between defending President Joe Biden from criticism over rising gas prices to praising him for small price drops. Now, the network is warning about rising prices again and protecting Biden.
CNN Reporter Matt Egan released a story Dec. 28 headlined: “$4 gas could be here by Memorial Day, GasBuddy predicts.” In essence, “Pain at the pump will get worse before it gets better,” Egan wrote in his lead paragraph. This follows Egan’s ridiculous attempt on Dec. 7 to put lipstick on the pig of elevated gas prices slightly contracting a few cents to a still high $3.35, which he acknowledged was over a dollar more than the average cost of gas a year earlier in December 2020. Egan’s Dec. 7 story was headlined, “Finally some relief: Gasoline and natural gas prices are falling.” Egan celebrated in the Dec. 7 propaganda piece: “After a relentless rise, prices at the pump are heading south.” But CNN has been flip-flopping on the gas price issue for months.

Will the 81 million EVER connect the dots?
CNN Just reports what they are told to.
Its simple. It hasn't been given the party line yet.
I've lived in communist countries, and the state-controlled media always was most honest (as much as is possible) on issues where the Party hadn't yet come to a political consensus and media had not been given the "correct" interpretation of events.
Same with state-controlled media here.
Nice! Stations are scraping them off as fast as they can.
Last week I filled up for $2.549 at a local station. Every other station in the area was within about $0.08-$0.10. Later that afternoon, all of the Valero stations were at $2.799, and most others have followed suit. A couple are still in the $2.65 range, and no one else is less than $2.759.
Roughly 10% in well under a week. SMH.
K1(Kerosene) heating fuel is now approaching $4.00 a gallon + delivery tax. There are going to some very cold people.
Our local stations dropped to 2.85-2.90 last few months but are now up to 3.05-3.08 but that maybe for the holidays
Some of that price increase have been the normal Christmas/News Years price gouging. You will find out in a few weeks.
“K1(Kerosene) heating fuel is now approaching $4.00 a gallon + delivery tax. There are going to some very cold people.”
Our old house had a 1000 propane tank. Propane is now around 2.95 gallon in our area. The new owners said they spent over $2400 last fillup and it was not empty.
Our new house has geothermal. Our electric bills are super low but geo just does ot give off the heat like fossil fuel btu’s. Our thermostat is set at 70 but feels like 65. It does a great job with ac though
“CNN just can’t seem to get its story straight”
Sounds like Biden and Fauci.
Wait, I saw CNN brag that gas prices came down a penny, before they went back up.
It would only take one gallon to light up the reporter really well, though. At $3.50 to $20 (maybe even more) per gallon, it would still be worth it. lololol.
I rest my case.
It’s pretty funny when Jonny Carson did the Great Karnak skits with telling the future. Now days even the Great Karnak could foretell CNN’s response to any event and praise Lord Biden.
The price of gasoline is determined by the price of oil.
The price of oil is determined by supply and demand.
Joe shut down the keystone pipeline and new leasing and fracking on federal lands.
Supply went down thus the price went up.
We exported oil in 2020, we imported oil in 2021.
Yes Joe Brandon Biden, you did that!
