Moreover, the administration has not reduced domestic production since the Trump administration. “The country became a net exporter of petroleum in 2020, the first time since at least 1949. That remained the case in 2021. It became a net exporter of natural gas in 2018 and remains so today, with exports reaching record levels in 2021.”
As for the administration’s cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline, another go-to GOP attack, our imports from Canada increased 70 percent without it. And when it comes to federal oil lease permits, “the Biden administration actually approved 34 percent more of these permits than the Trump administration did in its first year.
Even more egregiously, TV news media fails to confront Republicans about their provably false allegations.
In framing oil prices as a political story of the “GOP claim vs. White House defense” variety, the media provides demonstrably false accusations with oxygen. The political story gets tilted in Republicans’ favor and, moreover,the public about the substantive issues surrounding “energy independence” and pricing. To boot, the media largely avoids confronting GOP politicians on their dependence on political contributions from the oil and gas industry.
This media failure is part of the larger problem in coverage of two parties that do not equally respect facts and truth. As unnatural as it may be for reporters trained not to “take sides,” their obligation to news consumers is to tell the truth, not to provide cover for disingenuous politicians. They should be on the side of the reality. It’s Republicans’ own fault if they get caught denying it.
It’s so frustrating.
Despite we don’t like the current Government of Saudi Arabia & Venezuela, they are a concern, but pumping their oil is but not the evil implications of Russia and Iranian military interventions in other countries. military attacks on Iraq and Israel.
CheriJacobus The question is, Why doesn't refutation with provably true information garner sufficient clicks to encourage owners/editors' support?
The Lord says to the US that He will give us a time to repent, to do as our parents taught us, to stop warring against innocent people to build military bases and steal their minerals. Read 'Confessions of an Economic Hit Man' by John Perkins. If not, the results will be hard.
Sorry but it really does not matter. The folks who support them and an authoritarian government are not going to listen to anything but Fox and Trump. They are cognitively challenged. It is why Trump became a Republican. Easy to indoctrinate into the cult.
They were projected to be$4+ a gallon before the war. We’ve blamed Trump, we’ve blamed Covid, now we’re blaming the Russians. At what point do we take responsibility?
It's cool that everything except fox is in lockstep with the administration and they're still not happy.
Important point being made here. Especially since many don't read past the headline.
MSM always slants to the right! Depend on it! Dems have no megaphone except tweets

Laptop From Hell
You all act like this is new. All of the MSM are very friendly to the Republicans.
Crap masquerading as news is driven by narrow elites whose interests are at variance with the truth. The whole cabal of fake news needs to be ripped out of all democratic societies and truth reestablished as the guiding principle. Truth and integrity matters.
🤷🏽
“I cannot tell a lie” - George Washington “I cannot tell the truth” - Donald Trump “I cannot tell the difference” - Republicans
Media in general doesn’t hold democrats responsible for anything. Just look at these things you call press conferences
Nice generalizations
