Fox News was so scared of what Karine Jean-Pierre was saying that they cut off the video

Fox lies and misinforms the right base so badly they are not even part of reality the rest of us live in.   In the old days people that were this confused and believed in untrue stuff would be shunned and ignored.   People would rightly say they have a mental illness or be terminally stupid.   But they now are a large part of a major political party and the most reliable voting base of the same political party.    They are loud and can be very violent, they are convinced they are not only correct but because they are told it by the only media they consume that they are the majority, and they have the right to force others to do as they demand.   All of that is wrong, but it is what they are told and as they won’t check with other media facts don’t matter to them.  When a Fox employee asks a question they are not looking for an answer to it but they are framing it so they can build a story / sound bite off it to attack the left / democrats or to further the culture wars they so love to engage in.   In this case it backfired, their viewers might have learned right wing media has been lying to them on the oil situation.    Hugs

Fox News said that out Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre gave a nonsensical answer to a Fox reporter, so they weren’t going to even show what she had to say. But what she said made sense… and contradicted Fox’s narrative about gas prices going into the midterm elections.

At yesterday’s White House press briefing, Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre about oil companies, which are making record profits as gas prices are high.

“What makes you think that they are going to listen to an administration that is ultimately trying to put them out of business?” Doocy asked.

“How is the administration trying to put them out of business?” Jean-Pierre replied.

“Well, they produce fossil fuels, and this president says he wants to end fossil fuel,” Doocy responded.

At the briefing, that’s when Jean-Pierre gave her full answer. But on Fox News, that’s exactly where they cut off the clip.

“We wanted to show you the rest of her answer but she didn’t make any sense,” Fox host Jesse Watters said.

While Fox News may not have faith that its audience could comprehend her answer, LGBTQ Nation trusts its readers a bit more.

First, Jean-Pierre pointed out that U.S. oil production is “up and on track to reach a record high next year.”

“We’ve seen that from their- from when we see their profit margins,” she continued, adding that they’re at a “record high.”

“And so, in fact, the United States has produced more oil in President Biden’s first year than under Trump’s administration’s first year,” she continued. “But at the same time, oil companies are raking in record profits while more than 9,000 approved drilling permits remain untapped by the oil industry.”

“There is no shortage of opportunity or incentive for all companies to ramp up production.  This is something that they can actually do.”

On Twitter, Media Matters’ Kat Abu put the video clips together.

 

Her statement contradicts Fox’s coverage of gas prices, which has tried to pin the blame for rising gas prices on the Biden administration and “Biden and Pelosi’s far-left socialist agenda,” as one article on Fox’s site put it earlier this month. Fox has regularly said that Biden enraged oil industry executives with his opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, which they also blame for high gas prices. Other commentators on Fox have said – similar to what Doocy implied at the press briefing – that the left actually wants to increase gas prices to force people to use greener energy.

On Twitter, people criticized Fox News for its attack on Jean-Pierre.
