Strait of Hormuz debate exposes the spin
Doss: The strait wasn't closed before this war.
Jennings: It's not closed now.
Phillip: Then why are only ten tankers going through instead of the normal amount?
Jennings: We don't need as many. We've figured out how to move oil out of the region anyway.
Phillip: So why haven't gas prices gone down?
That's the whole thing. Not closed, not actually disrupted, but shipping traffic has collapsed and prices are still high. Pick a story and stick with it.
Officials are lying about whether regional supply disruptions are real, or lying about whether they matter, and either way gas prices haven't moved.
