Oil & Gas Prices

Even on Easter Sunday, ABC’s Good Morning America can’t quit regurgitating the Biden administration’s talking points. Days after President Biden reversed course and green lit oil and gas drilling on public lands, the liberal anchors at Good Morning America set out to downplay the decision. 

Hump Day marked a tough day for Jen Psaki as she reportedly careens toward the series finale of The Psaki Show as the White House press secretary faced tough questions on inflation and another off-the-cuff remark from President Biden about Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine, including one that questioned whether there needs to be “an asterisk next to anything that the President says.”

The same economist who admitted he got “inflation” wrong claimed the economy is thriving under President Joe Biden. At this point, flipping a coin might make more accurate economic predictions than New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.

Moments after the release of March’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) showing 8.5 percent inflation and a 1.2 percent rise from February, MSNBC’s 11th Hour host and unofficial Team Biden cheerleader Stephanie Ruhle was left to be the bearer of bad news (as NBC’s chief economic analyst) for her fellow liberals on the cast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

On Tuesday’s CNN Newsroom, viewers were exposed to some truthful commentary on the state of the nation’s economy, which was something CNN viewers are unaccustomed to. Taking her cue from some of her colleagues on other networks, Washington Post columnist and CNN analyst Catherine Rampell admitted that inflation has been rising long before Russia invaded Ukraine, and rising…

The Rev. Al Sharpton targeted the liberal elite in a fiery anti-woke sermon on inflation. Sharpton pummeled woke elitists during his appearance on the April 11 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe. The topic was the Democratic outlook for the 2022 midterms (Spoiler alert: it was not good).

When the network news divisions take public opinion polls, and President Biden looks terrible in them, they have a tendency to downplay them. ABC reported on their latest poll with Ipsos under the headline "Most Americans blame Vladimir Putin, oil companies for high gas prices: POLL."

The director of former President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council landed some solid punches and dished out some harsh warnings for the Federal Reserve in a recent Washington Post op-ed.  

Washington Post opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin absurdly claimed that “Biden’s economic record is extraordinary, but it is marred by inflation.” That’s like pretending an athlete is healthy except for the fact that they’re “marred” by a torn ACL and a broken wrist.

The Associated Press couldn’t bring itself to outright admit that President Joe Biden falsely promised to Americans that they would save big on transitioning to green energy. Instead, AP just said he “misspoke” and “vastly overpromised.”

It’s an old Washington political trick. When you’re in trouble, change the subject. When President Biden’s poll numbers are low and falling, when the economy has produced the worst inflation in four decades and gas prices in some states have reached record highs, when he claims we should expect food shortages and produces gaffes instead of gas and then refuses to walk them back, even after…

President Barack Obama’s former director of the National Economic Council Lawrence Summers blasted the Federal Reserve for pushing fairy tales on inflation. Summers criticized “the Fed’s current forecast” of a massive drop in inflation during the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) virtual event on trade liberalization and inflation relief.

After a slanted softball from NBC’s Kristen Welker during Wednesday’s White House Press Briefing, Thursday’s briefing featured substantive questions about Hunter Biden’s life of corruption to White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield via Welker and CBS’s Ed O’Keefe and Steven Portnoy. This time, the trio pressed on whether they stand by President Biden’s claims that Hunter didn’t do…

MSNBC senior business correspondent and The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle appeared on MSNBC Reports on Friday to absolve President Biden of any blame for high gas prices and to enthusiastically endorse tax increases as the solution.
