USA Today Joins CNN, ABC in Inflating Gas Prices on Websites
By Ken Shepherd | May 13, 2008 - 11:19 ET

ABCNews.com did it last week, CNN.com in April. Today, it's USAToday.com's
turn.

"Average gas prices set record at $3.72 a gallon" reads the teaser headline
on the USAToday.com Web site. Yet the photo (by Justin Sullivan, Getty
Images) accompanying the teaser on the front page shows a gas marquee with
gasoline at $4.09-a-gallon.

That's a media markup of 9.9 percent.

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I
would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working
for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group.
And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."
April 11 2007 B.Hussein Obama

We haven't seen 3.72 on a gas pump in my area in 2 months. That's the lie.

The more they keep jacking up the hypothetical prices, the easier it will be
for the oil companies to raise them in reality. I heard an announcement from
the media last week that it could reach seven dollars in the summer.

You'll notice, perhaps, that they never say why.

More like the media trying to hide the real price at the pumps!

We're being conditioned for $7.00 a gallon, $5.00/G will look like a
bargain!!!!!
