CNN is the latest to suffer from the utter humiliation of prophesying Armageddon-level economic catastrophe as a result of President Donald Trump’s military strikes on Iran, only to have their predictions collapse faster than Biden on the steps of Air Force One.
CNN writer Auzinea Bacon was adamant June 22 that “America’s economy” would face “a new war shock: Surging oil prices,” after Trump's historic B-2 bomber attack to devastate Iran’s nuclear capabilities. “The American economy faces the unwelcome prospect of reignited inflation after the United States launched strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran,” Bacon screeched. “High oil and gas prices are a near certainty, experts say. The big question now: How long will the fossil fuels price spike last?” “Near certainty,” eh Bacon? Yikes! talk about opening yourself up for a devastating reality check.
Two days later, on June 24, CNN reporters Anna Cooban, John Liu and John Towfighi released a story that nuked their colleague’s entire pearl-clutching spin to smithereens: “Oil is falling so much it’s now cheaper than it was before the Iran-Israel conflict.” In fact, the reporters noted that “Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, fell 6.1% to $67.14 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate crude, the US oil benchmark, fell 6% to $64.37 a barrel.”

This was one of CNN scare tactics
Lucky for CNN that Trump just created a brand new Big Beautiful Memory Hole for them to dump their predictions into. 😉
WHAT!!?? CNN is wrong...again!
American Pravda falls on its face again - now WHO woulda thunk that?
CNN is working for Iran, seemingly. The propaganda is easy to spot.
CNN and Tucker share the same talking points.
Oil prices are down since Israel began this on June 13.
HAHA CNN
CNN is more disappointed it didn’t happen. They’d rather there was people suffering…
They also claimed “Trump’s tariffs” would cost every American household $3500. That was back in February, and the show has moved on.
HAHA CNN
Remember when Bill Moyers derisively called President Trump a "fantasist" ?
So who's the actual fantasist, Bill?
MSM, the Democrat Party and Congressional Democrats are the most ignorant useless humans alive. Some Republicans fall in that category as well.
CMN does talk a lot of sh*t, don’t they?
The 37 people who actually watch CNN certainly believed this claptrap.
Looks like Mr. “Experts Say” was wrong again.
Why do they keep using him as a source?
CNN got it wrong. Unexpected.
