Just report what the gas prices are. No one gives a fuck what you think of the prices or that you want the price to move in a certian direction. Keep your biases to yourself!

(4,723 posts)delivered largely by spokesmodels. Even the local news around my area does this. Perky-looking blondes and boy next door types, well coiffed and clad, who struggle to get the story out of their mouths. Then it is off into the spin hopper with whatever they said, for processing and "analysis." Personally, I'd rather have plain or homely people just give the news in an accurate, unbiased way.
