Did I miss FOX News lying about gas prices?

Unintentional error, I’m sure.

Fox News aired graphic falsely suggesting gas prices fell since August 2025​

A Fox News spokesperson confirmed that the network aired corrections after the inaccurate graphic appeared on its programs.​

In August 2026, social media posts claimed(archived) a video authentically showed a Fox News graphic that falsely suggested national average gas prices fell between August 2025 and August 2026.

The alleged graphic, which aired on Aug. 17, 2026, compared national average gas prices "today," "a week ago" and "a year ago." According to the graphic, the national average gas price on the day the graphic aired was supposedly $4.06 compared to $4.13 one year ago, suggesting prices had fallen between August 2025 and August 2026.

Independent journalist Aaron Rupar, who posted a video including the graphic on Aug. 17, wrote, "Fox News graphic claims falsely that the average price of gas one year ago was $4.13, lower than it is right now. It was actually $3.14!" (It's worth noting that the graphic allegedly showed gas prices were higher — not lower — in August 2025 compared to August 2026, contrary to Rupar's statement.)

Yeah, the old Fox trademark...show and say misleading things, aka, lying, and then eventually issue a "correction".

Problem is the original "falsehood" is made in prime time and the correction comes when viewership is lower.

BAU for Radical Right media.

They can create programming for their #1 viewer, but they cannot lie to the rest of their audience. Oh, the bulk of them will be in the cult until Trump dies, but, they know what they pay for gas and groceries.
