The propaganda press is wielding the Biden regime’s narrative concerning Russia to gaslight Americans about increasing prices at the gas pump.
Despite the fact that domestic gas prices climbed dramatically well before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Joe Biden and his group refuse to take responsibility for increasing prices at gas stations. When the cost of gas shot up nearly 50 cents more per gallon this week, the White House clambered to establish a story that once more exonerated the Biden administration from a self-inflicted situation that could injure Democrats in the 2022 midterms.
The Narrative Is In Place, And The Press Are Ramming It Home
“It’s going to go up,” Biden claimed on Tuesday shortly after he halted Russian oil imports to punish Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine. “Can’t do much right now. Russia is responsible.”

“Putin’s war is already hurting Americans at the gas pump,” Biden added in a press conference. “Since Putin began his military buildup on Ukrainian borders … the price at the gas pump in America went up 75 cents. … I’m going to do everything I can to minimize Putin’s price hike here at home.”

White Home Press Secretary Jen Psaki likewise lied regarding the impacts Biden’s poor energy policy has actually laid upon Americans, blaming the Russian-Ukraine war for climbing gas costs.
“The increase,” she said, “is a direct result of the invasion of Ukraine.”

Outlets such as CNN smeared Republicans for explaining Biden’s obvious function in intensifying the country’s power difficulties as well as making Americans spend for his ignorance.
“[Republicans] largely ignored the global factors left over from the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine that are weighing on gasoline costs,” CNN claimed.
“And they accused Biden of leaving Americans vulnerable to energy shocks overseas by canceling the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada when he first took office. They claimed he doomed Americans to high gasoline prices by pausing oil and gas leases on public lands and by suspending oil leases in Arctic refuges to fight climate change.”
Politico asserted that “they have also used the topic to criticize Biden for limiting domestic oil and gas production that they argue can fill the gap created by a Russian import ban.”
Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell additionally just recently accused the GOP of “laying a trap for Biden on Russian energy sanctions.”
MSNBC as well as NBC likewise jumped at the opportunity to overdo Republicans as opposed to fingering Biden for his plan failures. “Republicans cheer Russian oil ban and jeer Biden for rising gas prices,” NBC reporters Sahil Kapur and Scott Wong wrote.

– many pushed for russian oil ban. Will they work with WH to find way to pump more fast and ease economic burden on consumers? OR cheer on higher prices / blaming Biden for inflation?— Stephanie Ruhle (@SRuhle) March 8, 2022
The fact is, Biden has actually played a specific role in restricting the United States oil industry however the corrupt media are comfortably disregarding his track record when they cover increasing prices at the pump. On his very first day in office, Biden obliterated the Keystone XL pipeline because it endangered his radical environmentalist energy policy. Over the past year, the Biden has additionally canceled Arctic drilling leases, bludgeoned producers with taxes and regulations on domestic manufacturing, publicly declaring war on oil as well as gas.

Instead of relying on domestic production to fill the gap left by Russian imports, Biden is considering getting oil from various other corrupt pro-Moscow regimes such as Iran or Venezuela
CNN, ABC, The Washington Post, and also various other corporate media outlets aren’t talking President’s anti-oil policy in their coverage of pricey gas. Rather, most of them are rejecting to discuss him at all yet they enjoy utilizing the White House’s narrative. Given that prior to Biden’s assumption of office, corrupt outlets have only ever attempted to absolve him of any type of blame for issues he created. The extreme spike in gas rates after Biden launched a war on oil and gas, unfortunately, is no exception.
