Gas prices have decreased by about 11 cents over the last month. Crazy how people are not talking about that anymore.
This isn't true for everyone. Gas has not gone down by 11 cents where I live. You may be referring to an average for a specific area but not everyone has seen gas go down. In the last month, our gas prices have gone up to just under $4 a gallon.

National average. So, true for most of the country but not everyone, of course.
Point is when the national average was increasing, news of that was everywhere. Now that it is decreasing, you see a lot less reported.
Sort of the same with the supply chain stuff. A month or two ago Fox News was telling it's viewers Joe Biden was the cause of them not being able to put presents under their trees. hahah Now that the issue has improved, in part to actions his admin took, you see a lot less reported.
Anyway, Merry Christmas. See? Biden isn't preventing us from saying that. lol.

Have you tried buying candy canes lately? Or seen the Faux News tree turn into a Roman candle? Christmas so to has been canceled and it’s all Brandon’s fault. Or Obama’s. Or Hillary’s. Or the Squads’s. Or Carter’s. He’s still alive, right?
sure it has. but can you rightly compare prices during a deflated economy when more folks worked from home and in general drove less over all to a time when folks are back out in force?

I know. Such a lazy argument. Yeah lets compare it to a time when nobody was on the road. Supply and demand, folks.
The point is when gas was increasing 11 cents every few weeks the news was all over it. Now that the wave has started to crest, you don't hear much of anything. I can guarantee you if it increased 11 cents over the last few weeks Fox and Friends would not shut up about it though.

How's that border crisis, by the way? Or that Afghanistan withdrawal? Or that faltering economy? Unemployment maybe? The NFL players taking a knee? Is that still a thing? How about masks? Wearing masks on airplanes?

I didn’t say you can’t. Just don’t see why 11 cents should be breaking news. Gas usually goes down this time of year, so why is anyone complaining that the news isnt reporting on this 11 cents?

It's not breaking news. Nor was it breaking news when it went up 11 cents every few weeks or so recently. The difference is that was covered as breaking news and now that it's going down, it's not covered much at all. If you don't think the Fox and Friends crew would still be ranting and raving about rising gas prices if they were still increasing, you are fooling yourself.

That’s not what I said. One 11 cent decrease isn’t breaking news. Now, 11 cents several weeks in a row that you just compared it to, sure. Don’t know how that’s a lazy argument or that I’m ignoring everything that’s happened in the last year. It’s simple, 11 cents is a small number, not newsworthy, especially when the trend is gas goes down for winter anyway.

See my post above. When it was increasing by 11 cents or so Fox wouldn't shut up about it. When it stopped increasing and started to decrease they are predictably quiet.

You said “when gas was increasing 11 cents every few weeks the news was all over it.” Sure, 11 cents every few weeks for several months is a big deal. One single 11 cent change isn’t. If it keeps dropping by 11 cents every few weeks I’d expect to hear a lot more. But gas prices fluctuate, it usually goes down in the winter, so one single 11 cent drop at the start of winter is no big deal and shouldnt be compared to the coverage that an 11 cent gain every few weeks got.
Average gas prices dropped from November - December anywhere from 5 a 20 cents nearly every year for the last 30 years. Just don’t see how this is newsworthy, it’s expected. Why would this be breaking news?

The news is a month ago, Brent Crude was 85/barrel. Now it's $75. The target price should be in the 60's. Once we get there, and we should between the strategic release + OPEC's commitment to increase production over the next several months, gas will be in that $2.50 range. It should not be under $2. That's too low and will cause the fracking in teh US to stop (which affects jobs) and is generally a sign of a shrinking economy.

I missed this post at first. Of course they’d be talking about gas prices if it was still going up. But wasn’t everyone taking about gas? I recall it being a hot topic for a lot of platforms, not just Fox. It was the highest it’s been in almost 10 years, so that was worth mentioning. Going down the yearly average for November not that big of a deal, no ones going to comment on that. Well, they did and got made fun of even by others not of Fox.
it could fall but 11 cents a gallon multiple times and the tv media would not report on it because they make too much money having a white guy on every night giving the "ya know what really grinds my gears?" type of commentary on gas prices.

This guy gets it. Didn't think that point was going to be so difficult for some...
My point was wait for it to drop 11 cents multiple times over before you complain about the lack of coverage if you’re going to compare it to the coverage that the increased prices got. I didn’t think that was difficult either… So why even bring up the lack of coverage at this point then? It’s like complaining that nobody is taking about how the moon is getting smaller this week. It’s not a story, and fits the regular pattern, so don’t complain about the lack of coverage.

people on the right also believe the president can control gas prices too though.
They also believe the guy who lost the election won the election.
oh i know. i have watched enough videos of angry people sitting in the driver's seat of their pickup truck complaining about it.
I had a back and forth with an old high school "friend" on facebook back in February-ish after he posted that he paid over $4 a gallon for gas around here (Philly burbs) and of course added a "Thanks Joe!"
Gas was still under $3 at that point. Had to call him out on it. He refused to mention the gas station and then back peddled his way out of the argument. Disingenuous bullshit from the top down in that cult. It's exhausting.
