CPAC is supposed to be the showcase story.

Look at this shiny movement we have.

They were they were lame.

They were boring.

And March 28th ended up being really an exhibit of contrasts.

And it's a contrast MAGA is terrified by.

Meanwhile, Fox News is trying to figure out how do we spin the gas prices that have gone nuclear?

Let's talk about that.

One of the things that starts to happen when you can't defend reality is you start creating an alternate reality.

One of the ways that you can spin these massively spiked gas prices up 45 percent since mid-January because of Donald Trump's optional war with Iran.

One of the ways that Fox News is trying to spin it is by talking about the average price of a barrel of oil.

Now, a couple of problems with this.

The average price of a barrel of oil when Obama was president doesn't really tell you much about what Trump has done to gas prices today.

But let me play the clip and then I'll explain to you how they are messing with statistics to try to confuse you and quite frankly, to confuse their own audience.

So that's good to pay close attention to this.

All right.

I think you get the point.

This is a good example of how giving people the average doesn't mean much

maybe depending on which average you're giving them.

Now, average can mean the mean, the median or the mode.
