Hey CNN, Remember that ‘Below $3 a Gallon’ Gas ‘Soon’ Prediction You Regurgitated in December?

CNN is experiencing the “life comes at you fast” adage in real time as a poor government prediction it touted on skyrocketing gas prices came back to haunt the network.

CNN reporter Matt Egan published a Dec. 8 story with a foolish headline that needs no explanation in light of recent news on gas prices: “Gas prices will tumble below $3 a gallon soon, government forecasts.” Egan propagandized the government’s crystal ball on Twitter: “Sub-$3 gas is coming soon? @EIAgov projects prices at the pump will average $2.88 in 2022. Fast-forward six months later, and CNN would run another story upending the irresponsible prediction Egan pushed earlier headlined: “Average US gas price hits $5 for first time.” Looks like the projection missed by roughly $2.12 at this point.

[RayChuang88]

The Establishment Media have many people who remember what happened between 1979 and 1980. They're tiring of Biden's policies.

The prog neo commie left is literally insane.
Semi functioning but insane.
And don’t forget..corrupt as the day is long.

You can not reason with the insane or the corrupt. Plain and simple.

Let’s hope Biden & other clowns like him are “transitory” Then we may see some relief on inflation.

@EIAgov projects prices at the pump will average $2.88 in 2022.

Trump in 2020: 'If Biden' Becomes President, You'll Pay $7 For a Gallon of Gas By Michael W. Chapman | March 8, 2022 | 1:53pm EST

(CNS News.com) -- During a campaign stop on Nov. 2, 2020, then-President Donald Trump touted the low gasoline prices of the time and warned that if Joe Biden became president, Americans would end up paying $7, $8, even $9 a gallon.

Trump, also, said that, in response to those high gas prices, the Biden administration would tell people to get rid of their cars.

"It's an incredible thing that's happened over the last few years, a lot of great things," said Trump. "And you’re paying, what, $2 a gallon for your gasoline? That’s okay."

Hahahah!!!!!!!!!

[Tallguy]

Nobody is held accountable for mistakes that don’t turn out wrong, but wildly off-the-mark. And until they are, the Media will keep memory-holing those mistakes. Why does Janet Yellen still have a job for instance? Or Mayor Pete? Or Jennifer Granholm?

Actually I want my $1.38 a gallon of 2020 back
