Ace Reporting

NPR has run numerous stories on rising gas prices. Many clips have created interesting questions about the far reaching effects of the high prices at the pump - a recent one felt like they heard my concerns and responded with a story about states like Montana and it’s residents, who have long drives and small wages.

But there have been some major flops with the coverage on the gas prices. 

A few weeks ago, just about when Connecticut went over the $4.00 mark, a reporter did some interviews at a gas station in DC. Five or six people were interviewed and every single one of them was lamenting that they were officially paying more at the pump than they ever had before. Really?! That’s what I call front page (speaker?) news…high prices at the pump.

And yet, today as I filled up the car and the price went over $40.00, I couldn’t help but think, “Wow, that’s the first time I have ever paid that much for a single tank of gas with this car…”
