Filler Up

We all know the mantra of Fox News is "We report [it's the Democrats fault]. You decide [it's the Democrats fault]." Well it does appear that those at Fox haven't yet been able to decide which side of the issue they believe in. I recently spent some time watching and listening to Bill O'Reilly and Shawn Hannity discuss the recent increase to oil and gas prices. O'Reilly is arguing that the oil companies are receiving the lions share of the profits that the consumers are paying at the gas pump. Hannity on the other hand is arguing state and federal taxes make up the lions share of the profits consumers are paying at the gas pump.

Despite their divergent opinions over who is profiting most, O'Reilly and Hannity believe it is ultimately the fault of Democrats, liberals and environmentalists that consumers are paying higher prices at the gas pump.
