Here’s How CBS News Reported $4 Gas Under Biden vs. Trump – Twitchy

Evidence of legacy media bias can be subtle and tough to spot but it’s often there if you look close enough.

Just kidding!

It doesn’t really take much effort to spot. We’ll start with CBS News’ post about $4 gas during Trump’s second term: 

With gasoline topping $4 a gallon, it now costs almost $145 to fill up a Ford F-150 pickup truck, a new analysis finds. https://t.co/kI56NiRa2m

Compare and contrast with CBS News’ framing of $4 gas during the Biden autopen administration:

Yeah, the difference is not very subtle.

Here they are back to back: 

Gasoline prices in the U.S. could soon drop to an average of $4 a gallon, according to a Biden energy adviser. https://t.co/YmNPa0AY8G

Also as to the latter post, it would only cost that much to fill up an F-150 if it was an extended range model and the tank was bone dry when filled up.
