FAKE NEWS: Legacy Media STILL Pushing 2022 Gas Price Lies to Undermine Trump's Energy Success

The mainstream media is at it again, folks. The Washington Examiner just published a laughably outdated hit piece trying to resurrect 2022 midterm election talking points about gas prices hurting Republicans – apparently hoping Americans won't notice we're now living under President Trump's energy dominance agenda.

While legacy media outlets scramble to find new ways to attack conservative leaders, the reality on the ground tells a completely different story. Trump's "Drill, Baby, Drill" policies are already showing results, with American energy production ramping up and the regulatory stranglehold of the Biden regime finally being dismantled.

Media Desperation Reaches New Heights

It's almost comical watching establishment publications try to recycle old narratives that didn't even work during the actual midterms. The Washington Examiner's piece reads like it was written in a parallel universe where Americans somehow forgot about the energy crisis created by Biden's war on domestic oil production.

Remember what we were dealing with under the previous administration? Pipeline shutdowns, drilling permit delays, and a steady stream of green new deal nonsense that sent gas prices through the roof. Now Trump is back, and the energy sector is already preparing for the regulatory relief that's coming.

"The American people aren't stupid – they know exactly who was responsible for the energy crisis, and they know who's going to fix it," one Colorado energy worker told local reporters.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is already working to roll back the job-killing environmental regulations that strangled American energy independence. Meanwhile, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick is clearing the way for domestic energy projects that were blocked by Biden's bureaucratic swamp.

Colorado Patriots See Through The Lies

What the Examiner doesn't want to admit is that Colorado voters – like Americans everywhere – have figured out the media's game. They're not buying recycled scare stories designed to protect the same establishment politicians who created these problems in the first place.

Real Coloradans are watching Trump deliver on his promises while fake news outlets desperately try to manufacture controversy where none exists. The question isn't whether gas prices will hurt Republicans – it's how long legacy media will keep embarrassing themselves with these transparent hit jobs.

Can someone explain how they're manipulating the gas price data? I run a delivery business and my fuel costs have been through the roof since 2021, but the media keeps saying prices are 'stabilizing.'

They cherry-pick seasonal data and compare peak pandemic prices to current prices instead of showing the full timeline. Classic statistical manipulation.

This is why I don't trust a word from CNN or MSNBC anymore. Trump had us energy independent and gas was cheap - those are just facts!

The MSM will never give Trump credit where credit is due! I remember paying $2.30/gallon when he was in office and now it's nearly double that. They can spin all they want but we lived through both administrations.

Exactly! I kept all my gas receipts from 2019-2020. The proof is right there in black and white.

Energy independence was one of Trump's greatest achievements and they're trying to erase it from history. Absolutely shameful!
