Fox Desperately Tries To Put A Happy Face On Soaring Cost Of Crude Oil
Fox's Rachel Campos-Duffy and Maria Bartiromo found a new way to spin the soaring cost of crude oil -- just include last year's prices in your "average" for Trump.
Here's how started the conversation started on this Sunday's Fox & Friends Weekend:
CAMPOS-DUFFY: Well, as global markets feel the pressure from the war in Iran, President Trump is assuring Americans that it's just temporary. Sunday Morning Futures anchor Maria Bartiromo joins us now. Good morning, Maria.
I think a lot of... well, let me show you the daily average price per barrel, just to put this in a little bit of context. We see, can I get our team to put up the prices?
Under Obama, they were $83.33 during his term. And under the Trump term, it's $52. Biden, it was $79. And then under Trump now, $65.54.
So still well below what the others had on average. So that's good to put that into context for sure.
But a lot of Americans concerned. How high will they go? And can the president take control of the Straight of Hormuz and make sure that oil prices don't go higher.
