Thread: VIDEO: Fox's Gas Price Predictions Fall Flat

This is hilarious, especially since the media today said the price of gas could go to $3 per gallon or lower by the fall. Today the national average is $3.47.

In its relentless coverage of rising gas prices, Fox News made some outrageous predictions of $5, $6, $7 and even $8 a gallon gasoline by summer. But these predictions have proven to be nothing more than wishful thinking by a network that hoped to use high prices at the pump as a campaign issue against President Obama.

Actually FOX predicting these high gas prices proves they are not bias. They could have said we were going to slip back into a double dip recession due to obama policies and gas prices will fall. Unfortunately they would have been correct.

Well 'the media' certainly has a great record on predicting things like gas prices, eh?

Hell, they have trouble reporting events as they actually happen, how one grants them powers of prognosis is mystery.

Good thing the President never made any bad predictions, like for unemployment or something, eh?

Thank you for proving the main media, everyone but FOX tried to ignore the high gas prices.Kind of like the tried to hide fast and furious until obama pulled his executive privilege stunt. I'd like to see a graph for that.

I don't think it would show on a graph, I recall hearing somewhere (but of course its unverified) that the big three broadcast networks spent like a total of 10 seconds on FF until recently.

Fox was making outrageous predictions to put President Obama in a bad light. But of course you know this.

The blonde bimbo on FOX would have an orgasm on tv if terrorists were to bomb a major US city.
