Deceptions

83%

Examples:

  • The article states that California drivers paid an average of $4.94 per gallon of gasoline in the final three months of 2023 which is higher than the national average and records but it fails to mention that this was due to supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19 pandemic not climate policies.
  • The article states that California Governor Gavin Newsom's office said in a statement that gasoline price spikes are stemmed from oil companies own lack of planning which is misleading as it implies that Chevron and other oil companies are responsible for these price spikes when in fact they have been warning about them.
  • The article states that California has long had an outsized influence on national policy but fails to mention any specific examples or evidence to support this claim.
  • The author quotes Andy Walz as stating that gasoline prices will rise significantly if state legislators continue enacting policies to discourage petroleum production but does not provide any evidence or data to support this claim.
