CNN tries to defend Biden's energy debacle

 Newsbusters:

CNN’s knee-jerk reaction to spiking gas prices was to protect President Joe Biden, and Twitter users jumped all over the outlet for it.

CNN Business published a ridiculous story headlined, “Gas prices are above $3. Biden doesn’t have a magic wand to fix that.” CNN Business Lead Writer Matt Egan patronized readers by saying, “President Joe Biden is being attacked for $3 gasoline. But the truth is the White House isn’t to blame for high gas prices – and has few options to lower them.” The CNN Business tweet of Egan’s pro-Biden propaganda was heavily ratioed.

Did Egan forget that GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan recently argued in April that Biden’s energy plan was contributing to rising gas prices? Also, Egan’s employer previously published a story in April headlined, “All that stimulus is sending inflation higher.” CNN said in the April story that the “biggest driver” behind the spike in the U.S. Producer Price Index — “which measures sale prices for goods and services” — was “a sharp 8.8% jump in gasoline prices.”

Fox Business host Charles Payne ripped CNN Business for its propaganda: “Dear CNN ‘Business.’ Biden declared war on fossil fuel and took swift action while threatening more. Oil projects can't find funding and portfolio managers shunning stocks.” He continued: “When supply can't meet demand prices rise. BTW a pen & phone & rhetoric are more powerful than magic wand.”

BTW, I have noticed that Facebook's "fact-checkers" have quit pushing the story that Biden is not responsible for the high price of gas.  It was an unsustainable position.  The fact is that Democrats think high prices for gas will save the planet even if they are buying the oil from other countries instead of US producers.

Every time I drive by a gas station now it makes me want to vote against every Democrat on the ballot.
