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

[Lionfish]

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.


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."


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


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.

Wallie, you drive a yaris which has to get 50/mpg. Why do you care about the cost of gas?

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

just admit you work for China, asseater.

China does not benefit from US reserves, NoName.

It's very relevant. You are making somewhat of an argument based on a single word in a 1300 word article.

The dictionary definition of a word is a technicality? You are the one that is claiming a meaning of the word that is not the meaning most often used. That means it is YOU that is attempting to manipulate what the meaning is.


I see you want to ignore the other words so you can rely on this one.

Irrelevance fallacy. Word games. False authority fallacy. Dictionaries do not define any word. Go learn what 'fact' means. It does NOT mean 'proof'.

CNN states in the article in the second paragraph-
"Now, as oil prices hover near $100 a barrel just over a week into the war and US gas prices are moving sharply higher, it’s prompted a belated rush to try to reassure investors and seek ways to tamp down the impact."

False authority fallacy. CNN's opinion on the price of oil is irrelevant.
Oil prices have not gone over $100 YTD. Source: NYMEX.

So CNN long before the part you claim misleads the reader says that NOW the price is near $100 a barrel.

So? The article is misleading.

You are being stupid. The article is about the White House response to the price of oil going up due to the war.

172 is not 400, Poorboy. Not even CNN can make it so.

Once again, you simply ignore all the other 1300 words and what they refer to to make a pedantic argument that makes no sense. The article twice mentions $100 a barrel. This is what the article is about - It's the second paragraph.

Your word games won't work here, Poorboy.

Now, as oil prices hover near $100 a barrel just over a week into the war and US gas prices are moving sharply higher, it’s prompted a belated rush to try to reassure investors and seek ways to tamp down the impact. But the administration is confronting the limits of its power — and the reality that President Donald Trump’s decision to wage war abroad threatens to wipe out some of his key economic accomplishments at home.

Your Doom and Gloom isn't working, Poorboy.

CNN reported the low number at the end of the day, as they did yesterday, as they will Monday.

CNN is not oil prices, Stooge. False authority fallacy.

If this was Biden with $100 a barrel gas, Lionfish's eyes would bulge twice as much as Patel.

 

[Walt]

Wallie, you drive a yaris which has to get 50/mpg.

We have a Yaris and Priuses. The Yaris gets like 38 mpg, and the Priuses get closer to 50 mpg. Obviously, we also buy things which are transported with petrol products, and some are even made with petrol products.

Why do you care about the cost of gas?

I am not particularly worried about myself. I make several times what I spend.

It already WAS "Biden" (the Autopen). See oil prices during most of 2022.

Oh, I also recently found a meme that shares what I've been expressing on here since early this month and that perfectly encapsulates libtards:

 

[gfm7175]

There is 400 million barrels being released from reserves.

Correct, except 'is' should be 'are'.

That will replace 20 days of Strait of Hormuz transit.

Perfect. By that time, the Strait of Hormuz will be renamed the Strait of America.

The only problem is getting into the right places in the world at the right times.

The USA is currently working on bombing the hell out of the Strait of Hormuz shoreline. Within about three weeks, the USA will claim for themselves the Strait of Hormuz, Karg Island, and "the oil".

Within the coming months, gas prices will plummet back down to $60/barrel and libtards will return to screeching about Epstein or abortion or something else equally stupid.

It is unclear how much of the US strategic reserves were promised to other countries in the future to get them to release their reserves now, so it is unclear when the strategic reserves will run out. The strategic reserves will run out if this is not solved quickly.

I don't remember you being the least bit concerned about the strategic reserves when the Autopen depleted much of them (after Trump BUILT THEM UP when oil was very cheap) as a political ploy because the Autopen drove up gas prices sky high due to the Greentard Energy scam.

Biden had to work with gas prices that Trump inflated with his stupid ass handling of Covid.

 

[Jake Starkey]

gfm does not understand war and what it takes.

The Strait will not be safe for several months if Iran does not give up, and it won't.

However, there is something that can be done that will force Iran to bend the knee quickly once it happens.

Does Trump have the balls to do it? Who know what it is?

You weren't.

Jake Starkey: Neither were you, for that matter.

So another Maga mook OP tells a partial truth then attaches the usual supposition, conjecture and topic shifts. Pathetic.

By that time, the Strait of Hormuz will be renamed the Strait of America.

The more trump is stuck with the blame for the disasters to come, the less the rest of the world wants to prevent the disasters to come. If Xi can convince the Chinese they are suffering because of trump, it is good for Xi for the Chinese to be suffering.

The USA is currently working on bombing the hell out of the Strait of Hormuz shoreline.

Let's say we do that, and kill a million Iranians, mostly civilians... Do you think that will make them more willing to negotiate or less willing?

Within about three weeks, the USA will claim for themselves the Strait of Hormuz, Karg Island, and "the oil".

A buildup in land forces to invade Iran would take months, and the invasion and occupation would be bloody.

Within the coming months, gas prices will plummet back down to $60/barrel

Gasoline is measured in gallon. Oil is measured in barrels. I think you mean "oil prices", but you are so delusional it is hard to say.

I strongly suggest you invest heavily in oil futures going down. If you are right, you will make a lot of money.
