In response to the first comment:

Rising oil prices helps almost all of us. If you have a 401k or mutual fund or government sponsored retirement plan, you probably own oil stock.

I own some Exxon, so I’ll tell you something else. Gasoline counts for less than half of its revenue. Most of Exxon’s revenue is from petrochemicals. And then there’s the fact that they pay more than half of their revenue in taxes, already.

I was putting a piece together for my place when the prices began to stabilize and interest seemed to wane. I guess I’ll have to pull it back out and finish it.

Damn, was looking forward to a slow week.

Should have added: They all suck. All the media. All the politicians. They just suck differently. They all manipulate, just differently. Get mad at everyone, or laugh at everyone.

OTOH, Fox News was the only outlet to report that Obama's giant crowd in Berlin was also influenced by a free concert by popular bands. There may have been free food, too. Hard to confirm, since it wasn't mentioned by anyone in the US. I don't believe everything on any news station. Fox doesn't have a monopoly on bias.

Sabrina: I know that other MSM does it too. Fox just goes that extra step to achieve Pravdaesque abrurdity.

I hate to tell you, but its not only Fox news. All MSM report like this; vapid, vacuous, and inane.

Good post. News media are generally so poor it’s maddening. Your examples of show they state redundancies as if they were profundities are far too familiar.

Raising gas prices to make Bush’s oil buddies rich is one of my husband’s favorite rants. He’s been saying for months that Bush and Cheney will start manipulating oil prices down before the election so that people will be more inclined to vote Republican.
