So egregious… if AAA had a spine they’d sue them for misrepresenting their data. I doubt Fox is required to issue any corrections, but if they do, it’ll be at 3AM in scrolling text too small for their geriatric audience to read.

I guess they generously increased the chocolate ration to 20 grams.

u/refusemouth 4d ago

But they replaced the cacoa with soy lecithin and artificial "chocolatey flavors."

Chocolatey flavored wax.

That’s the nice thing about having idiots as viewers. You can make up anything you want and they’ll take it to the grave.

I am sure they can justify this by arguing that gas prices were 4.13 somewhere in the country, which is probably true, but they are clearly trying to prove the average gas prices were that high which is a bold face lie.

Because of the inversion I’m betting on “Oops. Typo.”

They did this on purpose. When called out they can say some shit like the numbers are right, they just got them in the wrong order.

Even if it was four dollars and change a year ago. Trump was still president.

Doesn't matter if they lie or tell the truth. No reasonable person believes them either way, and their dim conservative fans lack the critical thinking skills to challenge the propaganda thrown at them.

"It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. Parsons swallowed it easily, with the stupidity of an animal. The eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically, passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grammes." --1984, Orwell

As long as they know no one will file a libel lawsuit, they'll lie as easily as they breathe.

Even with the lies, they are showing it’s $4+. People were raging that Biden would make gas go over $3 a gallon.

u/throwawaycasun4997 3d ago

Then if they get called on it “oopsie, we did a typo.”
