Sometimes news people disguise their bias for candidates by omitting information that would cast that candidate in an unfavorable light. Or they might eagerly report negative news (whether true or not) about their candidate’s opponent. Then again, sometimes they just blatantly gush over their candidate, especially when it comes to President Barack Obama. So it’s no surprise that an ABC New anchor was openly wishing for gas prices to drop by 50 cents a gallon before election day.
If you were a television news anchor reporting on falling gas prices, why would you say “the best news” was that a gallon of gasoline “might drop another 50 cents by Halloween, just in time for the election?”
Believe it or not, ABC’s Paula Faris, appearing on Monday’s Good Morning America, actually said exactly that.
