Oil & Gas Prices

CNN Newsroom was sticking to the White House marching orders Thursday as they parroted President Biden’s line that the soaring cost of fuel was because of “Putin’s price hikes.” They were so intent on adhering to their factious script that they literally laughed at the idea (we know it’s fact) that inflation was a feature, not a bug, of the Biden presidency. They even suggested…

After hosting her own show on Wednesday, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell ventured over to MTP Daily to continue in the media’s newest tradition of acting like historically high gas prices are solely due to Vladimir Putin’s decision to wage war on Ukraine. Not only did Mitchell defend that talking point, she hailed it as “a great way to message it.”

A day after President Biden announced a ban on Russian oil and as gas prices surged to record highs, The Psaki Show featured hardballs Wednesday afternoon on the impact of the Biden economy on consumers. Chiefly, questions from Fox News’s Peter Doocy and Fox Business’s Edward Lawrence led Psaki to struggle to defend the White House’s policies on inflation, gas prices, and a refusal to support…

CNN economics and political commentator Catherine Rampell called out the liberal media’s fairy tale that gas prices are skyrocketing mainly because of the war in Ukraine. Rampell appeared on the March 8 edition of CNN anchor Kate Bolduan’s show to explain what President Joe Biden’s announcement to ban oil and gas imports from Russia might mean for Americans. 

According to MSNBC’s The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle and Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, President Biden took a huge risk on Tuesday when he announced that the U.S. would ban the importation of Russian oil. The risk being that Republicans will say they support the move while also blaming him for high gas prices.

With the national average for a gallon of gas at $4.25 on and rising rapidly, and President Biden’s decision to ban Russian oil set to make things worse, CNN’s Ana Cabrera was either desperate or foolish to step into the breach during Wednesday’s Newsroom to defend him with oil production numbers from 2020 – aka still the Trump presidency – to claim the U.S. was pumping out enough oil…

A new poll obliterated the liberal media’s attempts to hypnotize Americans into believing that a leftist green agenda is preferable to lower gas prices and U.S. energy independence. But to the horror of Al Gore superfans and radical environmentalists, the eco-brainwashing does not seem to have worked on the American people.

On Tuesday, President Biden enacted yet another policy that’s set to send American oil and gas prices to historic and harmful levels for American families. And no matter how much Biden and his pals in the liberal media lie, these skyrocketing prices are his doing. But ABC’s World News Tonight answered the White House’s call for aid as they took toed the administration’s line of…

Before President Biden gave a speech on Tuesday announcing the ban of Russian oil imports, the cast of At This Hour on CNN warned that gas prices will go up and that Biden has no good options to fix that problem -- as if his own policies have no impact on the situation.

Immediately following President Biden’s announcement late Tuesday morning that the U.S. would finally ban Russian oil over the ongoing war in Ukraine, CBS went to work spewing White House propaganda that the administration’s left-wing environmental agenda was “not hurting oil production in this country.” Instead, the network claimed there were “no good options” other than turning to other…

Prior to Monday’s explosive post-briefing kerfuffle (which NewsBusters was able to obtain from a source), the regularly scheduled Psaki Show featured the return of Doocy Time as the Fox News correspondent battled the press secretary over who or what’s to blame for high gas prices and why there’s been, at best, an apprehension to increased domestic oil and gas production as Russia’s war on…

Was it part of multimillionaire CBS comedian Stephen Colbert’s routine to look like a complete hypocrite by lecturing people about the morals of paying higher gas prices?

NewsBusters deputy managing editor Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I began our week of guest hosting the NewsBusters podcast by highlighting the downfall of Kremlin-funded RT and why no one should be shedding tears. We also discussed where the liberal media have failed (hint: it has to do with energy) and succeeded in reminding people of what honest journalism should look like.

As gas prices continue to skyrocket to astronomical levels around the country on Monday, ABC’s World News Tonight completely ignored the story. Although both CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News covered the pain American consumers are feeling at the pump, they promoted the Biden administration’s ineffective solutions to the problem.
