[See NewsBusters for more.] Well, now they tell you. The network morning shows on Monday all admitted that ramping up oil production in the wake of the war in Ukraine will “take some time.” But there was no mention of the Biden administration’s war on energy independence. And NBC’s Today mentioned buying an electric car instead to save money on gas. (The average price of an electric car is over $56,000, by the way.) On ABC’s Good Morning America, Rebecca Jarvis showcased the bad news, noting that “a gallon already averaging $5.34 in California. Up 52 cents in just the last week.” She admitted things aren’t getting better anytime soon: “Now if the U.S. were to fully ban Russian imports, we would make up for that gap by ramping up production here domestically. That would take time.”
