6. Wow! I bet lower gas prices is the lead story on all the news shows tonight

Wait. No, I don't think I will bet on that. Sure, when it was advantageous to stick it to President Biden a couple of weeks ago, every network had a story about high gas prices. And supply chain problems. And the heartbreak of psoriasis. And any other crap they wanted to fling at the President.

Today? Gas prices are back down. Supply chain problems had far less impact than the doom-and-gloomers were predicting. And the Dow closed above 36,000 again today. Whether you agree about how much difference most of this stuff makes to people, these are some of the favored metrics for slagging on President Biden. Now that those metrics are favorable to the administration, the networks are going to have to focus on something else out of the President's control to gripe about.
