Evening news shows continue to do what is best: Repeat liberal talking points and ignore the news as diesel fuel supplies fall to historic lows.
A Mansfield Energy emergency report stated that East Coast fuel markets are facing shortages of diesel due to tight inventories and market economics. Mansfield issued a “supply alert,” Oct. 25, indicating that a diesel fuel shortage was already here.
The Big Three night news channels – ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News – failed for 10 days to cover the diesel fuel crisis.
Mansfield also announced in the same report it was moving the southeast U.S.A to “Code Red” and “requesting 72 hour notice for deliveries whenever possible to ensure fuel & freight can be secured at economic levels” – as a consequence of the diesel fuel shortage.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), diesel fuel is essential for most freight and delivery trucks, as well as trains and buses, boats, farms, military vehicles, and some cars and light trucks. MarketWatch reported that the U.S. had “U.S. MarketWatch reported on Nov. 7 that “U.S. diesel supplies have fallen to their lowest ever recorded for this time of the year.”
Steve Scalise, House Minority Whip (R-LA), tweeted: “This diesel shortage threatens to crush America’s truckers and farmers-the backbone our economy. The impact will be felt across the entire supply chain.
The diesel shortage threatens to ravage America’s farmers and truckers–the backbone our economy. The impact will be felt across the entire supply chain.
RT if this is something you agree with: Biden must wake up to the crisis and unleash American energy production immediately.

Instead of covering the diesel fuel shortage the evening news reports praised celebrity news. ABC World News Tonight covered the divorce of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, on Oct. 28. CBS Evening News also featured a segment with U2’s Paul Hewson, better known as “Bono,” in celebrity worship.
ABC highlighted Brady’s Instagram posting on his divorce: “We arrived to this decision amicably, with gratitude for the times we spent together.” Norah O’Donnell, CBS host, asked Bono in the early days of Bono’s band, “did any one of you have an inkling of superstardom?”
Bono laughed and said, “That would be me.” It’s really embarrassing.
