How manipulative is CNN fake news?? Here's an example...

Prices are already coming down, Wally.

The price has been going up, it is now $103.86.

On the 9th, it went up to nearly $120, the next day it dropped to nearly $80, and now has been moving up until it is now $103.86.

The Strait of Hormuz is open to traffic

Transits have gone from an average of over 60 a day to less than 6 a day. None of the transits are significant amounts of oil. That is called "effectively closed."

Not all of the world's oil moves through that strait.

20% of it does, and there is no obvious long or even medium term replacement for that 20%.

172 is not 400

400 million barrels from multiple countries oil reserves, with 172 million coming from the US oil reserves for now. Other countries have oil reserves closer to the immediate need for oil, so they were cajoled into release oil on the promise that in the near future it would be replaced out of our oil reserves. That is not included in the 172 million, so we may be losing quite a bit more than 172 million.

gfm has not made a case.

CNN tells the facts, and gfm spins them.

They conveniently left out the bottom price at the end of the day, Fakey Jakey. That's dishonest reporting.

 

[Jake Starkey]

CNN notes that the price fell by the end of the day, yet was significantly higher than one the day started.

Trump and GOP/MAGA have created the same three inequity balances that caused the financial troubles of 2008-2011.

I am preparing once again to buy up property.

Lie. Argument from randU fallacy. Current price is 97.20. It never went up to 120 on the 9th. Lying won't work, Wally. Source: NYMEX

It is not closed, Wally.

Of what, Wally?

400 million barrels from multiple countries oil reserves, with 172 million coming from the US oil reserves for now.

172 is not 400, Wally.

Yep, and morons like lefty are perfect examples of their target audience. Lurchy is another perfect example, he struggles with too many words strung together like you find in articles. Headlines are about the limit for morons like him, and there are many Lurchy's out there.

is releasing oil from strategic reserves a great solution or is it stupid and short-sighted?

just admit you work for China, asseater.
