A quote from the mainstream media's seemingly daily coverage of -- oh my gosh! -- gas prices;
| ...experts say motorists should prepare to pay nearly $4 a gallon - and in some places even more than that - before the price of gas finally comes down in the late spring as high prices crimp demand. --cnn.com (link) |
Really? Does this circular logic really pass for critical journalistic thinking these days? The price of gas will come down due to... the price of gas? Thanks, CNN! I'm going to go back to watching The Daily Show for news now.
<sarcasm>In other news, somebody sent me a forward telling me about this awesome plan where nobody's going to buy gas on a single day, and we're totally going to stick it to the oil company man. It's totally awesome because you don't even have to drive less. Just buy the same amount of gas the next day! Brilliant!</sarcasm>
