Will Scolds Media for False Reports of "Record High" Gas Prices

From the Media Research Center:

George Will on Sunday scolded the media for its incessant, false reporting about "record high" gas prices, a subject of several recent CyberAlert articles. "Gasoline today, the cost of a gallon, in real adjusted dollars," Will pointed out during the roundtable segment on ABC's This Week, "is less than it was in 1981, less than it was in 1935." Will noted that "what we see is headline after headline telling people something that's not true: 'Record gas prices.' Then you go to the first paragraph or the fifth paragraph and it says, 'in nominal dollars' -- which means disregard the headline." Virtually no TV stories, however, ever get to that caveat.
