Go learn what 'fact' means, Poorboy. 'Fact' does NOT mean 'Universal Truth' or 'proof'.
Fallacy fallacy. No cherry picking occurred by gfm, Poorboy.
How manipulative is CNN fake news?? Here's an example...

Fallacy fallacy. No cherry picking occurred by gfm, Poorboy.
I have corrected this, Lurchy. FOX News is socialist controlled.
NYT, LAT, AP, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and NPR are Democrat controlled.
That's some interesting numbers. You provided the close for the days and then made up the highs. Do you have link showing Brent and WTI never breached $104 on 2026-9?
Because according to the numbers I have found online, you claim is as delusional as gfm is.

Stop blaming me for your own issues.
In post #10, I said that I was personally referencing WTI numbers and that the CNN article was instead referencing Brent numbers. I thought I had made it clear that the CNN article references Brent (which is international) and that I instead reference WTI (because it is domestic).

Wow. You admit that you are lying about what CNN did with the numbers? As a good cult member you seem to be unable to understand you just destroyed your own bullshit.
Inversion fallacy. You can't blame YOUR problems on anybody else, Sybil. You can't blame Lurchy's problems on anybody else either.
The current price of oil is 95.16, now trending down.
CNN makes up numbers, as do you.

Nope. That was the highest closing. The highest was intraday, for a few hours, just over $100

I've put the data right in front of your face, Richard.
Brent crude is not WTI crude.
This is some pretty simple stuff. You admitted you know that CNN was using Brent crude prices but argue that they are being manipulative because they didn't use the price for WTI crude at 3:30pm. It is you that is trying to manipulate facts here. It is you that is lying about what occurred.
There is little question that you are in a cult because you are willing to lie to protect your cult leader.
You put your lies right in front of everyone's face. Then you are so deep in your cult you can't even see that you are posting nothing but lies.
WTI crude is not Brent crude.

March 9th, 2026:
WTI Crude: @12:45AM ET -- $116/barrel @3:30PM ET -- $86/barrel
Brent Crude: @12:45AM ET -- $117/barrel @3:30PM ET -- $89/barrel
A 25% decrease from the "high number" is NOT "decreased somewhat".
3:30PM ET is a WHOLE HOUR before the article was published, which is plenty of time to see the latest data and report that the price of oil had come down 25% from its peak during the wee hours of the morning, regardless of whether you're referencing the Brent price or the WTI price.
CNN is purposely manipulative fake news.

Are you finally catching on to that truth?
Indeed it is, yet you seem incapable of understanding it.
Correct. I'm fully aware of CNN using Brent crude prices. My personal preference is WTI crude prices. I've been nothing but painfully clear about this.
WRONG again. Your continuous bogus position assignments don't work with me.
The manipulation from CNN has nothing to do with using Brent crude rates vs WTI crude rates, but rather that they referenced a specific 'high' number (almost $120/barrel for Brent) without likewise referencing a specific 'low' number later on in the day (below $90/barrel for Brent). Instead, they used the words "dropped somewhat". That implies that the price of oil is still near $120/barrel (instead of informing their readers that the price of oil had now dropped 25% from the $120/barrel rate that they quoted earlier).
It's a type of 'lie by omission' that's meant to manipulate the minds of people who don't know any better.
You can't blame me for what CNN did, Richard...

Another example of CNN fake news, just blatantly making shit up. Wanna know how I know?
1) The words: "according to multiple sources familiar with the matter."
2) The fact that CNN is the narrative-shaping propaganda arm for the State Dept. (the CIA).
Cruide is crude, Poorboy. The only difference is whether it is 'sweet' or 'sour' (has sulfur compounds in it). Processing sour crude is a simple preprocessing that is profitable, since sulfur is an industrial chemical that can be sold once extracted.
I don't give a shit about CNN.
Go learn what 'cult' means. Buzzword fallacy. What 'lie'? Void argument fallacy.

trump was the only president stupid enough since Bush II to be talked into another Mideast boondoggle. Trump has destroyed the world order and made us all unsafe. You're quibbling about how badly he fucked us. I'm sorry but we're not a fool like you!
