Maybe a conspiratorial observation/question, but is the media driving the price of gas up?

It seems to me, the more the media talks about how high the price of gas might be going up, the more it does go up. Just an observation!

Anywhere from $15 to $25 in the price of oil is caused by speculators.

I think the media is just mildly reporting the elevated fuel prices, and not making much of a deal about it.

OTOH, If the timeframe was the weeks leading up to the election, the Media would be trumpeting (and tromboning and tuba-ing) fuel prices to a feverish pitch to help the Death'o'Rats.

Aside from the toll in fuel taken by CNN's need to fly Anderson Cooper around the world six times a week, the answer is no.
