Why isn't the falling of gas prices

[edhopper]

as big a story as the temporary rise was?

Rhetorical question.

1. Maybe because Biden isn't a Republican? Nt

2. Because the media doesn't know how to spin it

They crowed about rising prices and inflation, and conservative pundits were wetting themselves thinking they had an issue to use against Biden. Now that prices are falling, they will acknowledge that it’s happening but then they move on.

They were CHEERING the higher gas prices back in June. Now, they either downplay the lower prices or they pooh-pooh them saying “Oh, it’s just temporary.”

3. Because for the most part Republicans/the Rich own the media see:

* HRC' emails & email server
* Al Gore, "I invented the internet."
* John Kerry wasn't a hero in Vietnam
* Bill Clinton and white water
* Inflation & Hunter Biden's laptop
* Biden's poor polling #s
* Fox News is still allowed to be a cancer to America
* President Obama had the IRS go after conservatives
* Russia & Trump were a hoax
* Non coverage of Trump's mob ties

4. Nasty white people have to have a "boogie man" to blame for their shortcomings.

5. They should ask:

Why do gas prices go up so much quicker than they come down?

If they came down as fast as they went up, gas would be a nickel a gallon...

6. To be fair

Without looking up exact numbers, gas was around $2.50, then it went up to $4.60, now it's around $3.90 around here. It's hard to portray this as a massive success when you look at the whole picture.

8. Covid close down gas prices are not

a good starting point.

7. because people don't know how to google?

Lots of stories available with minimum effort. But the. People wouldn’t have things to complain about.

9. It doesn't meet the media narrative that Dems suck.
