Fox News apologizes for lying about gas prices
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other...ic/ar-AA2arLyhFox News has issued an apology after it used an incorrect graphic live on air.
On August 18, Edward Lawrence informed Fox News viewers that the network had reported gas prices were $4.13 per gallon last year. However, they were actually $3.13.
During the America Reports show, Lawrence told viewers from Washington, D.C., "And before I toss back to you, yesterday we aired a graphic that showed gas prices incorrectly last year were $4.13 per gallon. They were, in fact $4.13 - $3.13 a gallon. That's 90 cents more in the past year."

Diesel is the real lifeblood of the economy even though consumers tend to pay more attention to retail gasoline prices, said Bob McNally, president of Rapidan Energy, in an interview with CNBC’s “The Exchange” on Tuesday.
