Gas Price Mentions On TV News Finally Eclipse March 2012 Peak On Fox News

Mentions of the price of gasoline have been rising since May 2021 and accelerating since this past November. Last month they reached an all-time high on Fox News, eclipsing their previous decade-high peak from March 2012. CNN is just barely over its March 2021 peak and MSNBC is actually below its previous peak. It is also clear that far from a sudden overnight surge, concern over gas prices has been building steadily.

Fox News has been mentioning gas prices far more than its peers.
