The mask is off, Patriots. Just three weeks into President Trump's second term, the legacy media has already launched their predictable gas price propaganda campaign – and the hypocrisy is absolutely staggering.
While Americans paid over $5 per gallon under Biden's disastrous energy policies, these same outlets barely raised an eyebrow. But now, with gas prices hovering around $4 nationally, suddenly it's a "crisis" that demands breathless coverage and finger-pointing at the Trump administration.
As one sharp observer noted on social media:
"Under Biden, $4 gas signaled relief. Under Trump, it signals a crisis. Funny how that works. Yes, prices under Joe Biden hit $5 a gallon at one point, but even then, the media wasn't exactly pressing the panic button or pointing fingers."
This isn't journalism – it's manipulation. The same networks that spent four years making excuses for Biden's war on American energy are now desperately trying to blame Trump for problems he inherited from the previous administration's anti-drilling policies.
The Real Story They Won't Tell You
Here's what the mainstream media conveniently ignores: Trump's "Drill, Baby, Drill" agenda is already showing results. His administration has fast-tracked permit approvals and reversed Biden's job-killing regulations on the energy sector. But it takes time to undo four years of deliberate sabotage.
Meanwhile, Biden left office with America's strategic petroleum reserves at dangerously low levels after repeatedly draining them for political purposes. Trump inherited an energy infrastructure crippled by green new deal fantasies and climate cult policies.
The media's selective outrage isn't fooling anyone with half a brain. When Biden's policies sent gas prices through the roof, they called it "Putin's price hike" or blamed "corporate greed." Now they want to pin every penny on Trump before his energy policies have even had time to take full effect.
Don't let them gaslight you, America. This is exactly the kind of propaganda we've come to expect from the state-run media complex. They protected their guy while you suffered at the pump, and now they're trying to sabotage the president who's actually fighting for energy independence.
The question isn't whether gas prices will come down under Trump's policies – it's how low the media will sink to spin the narrative against him.
