I just don't like it when blatant lies are told. But if the USA only had a 25 day supply of diesel, than the USA only had a 25 day supply of diesel. If that is the case, I don't see how it was a blatant lie. There were other facts that should have been considered and mentioned so viewers understood the full story, but the media omits facts and details all the time. That's just how they roll. Sometimes they hide entire stories, which is even worse. Remember how they refused to talk about Jeffery Epstein, even when news reporters were doing their own independent research and pressuring the media companies to allow them to report on his evil? Only after he was arrested could they begin to talk about what he was doing all along that everyone apparently knew about all along but were afraid to say it. That's even worse than omitting a few worthy details.

Can anyone say "Hunter Biden" or "Jeffery Epstein"...?
Its not a lie. But you need context.

Its like saying in my house there is only a 25 day supply of food.

I don't disagree. But this is standard operating procedure for our media because people accept, or maybe even demand it. People don't want to watch boring news. Many people on both sides willingly and knowingly consume their preferred flavor of fear porn.

The problem is when the EU cuts of Russian oil. Then we will see.

Typical MSM sensationalism and lies.

The 25 days was calculated if we the supply of incoming diesel had completely stopped and usage remained the same.

So what does Biden need to do?
In June it was 6-8 weeks. 16 weeks later - it was 25 days (3 weeks, 4 days). Three MONTHS later - and we still have plenty of diesel.

Conspiracy nuts gonna conspire. Meanwhile, the trucks are rolling on the highway, doing their job.

It used to be illegal. But the GOP gutted the law (known as the Fairness Doctrine) requiring that news be actual news.

I think you need to brush up on your recollection of the fairness doctrine.

Tucker Carlson I believed started this 25 day thing. Typical Tucker Carlson.

Tucker Carlson: The US is about to run out of diesel fuel


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUZoli8oekg

Tucker Carlson:

We have 25 days to avert economic catastrophe. Catastrophe is what will happen if we run out of diesel fuel. That’s more important than prosecuting a jihad in Ukraine. It’s more important than World War Trans. Everything depends on this, and we’ve got 25 days to fix it.

The sky really is falling with Biden and the Dems in charge. They told us this would happen with Trump but for some reason it didn't? Everything was better with Trump in the WH except the Dems and their media screaming at us that it wasn't.

I don't know what to believe anymore? Are we supposed to believe the Dems or our Lying eyes?
