Bush manipulates gasoline prices?

This should be unbelievable:

According to a new Gallup poll, 42 percent of respondents agreed with the statement that the Bush administration “deliberately manipulated the price of gasoline so that it would decrease before this fall’s elections.”…Almost two-thirds of those who suspect President Bush intervened to bring down energy prices before Election Day are registered Democrats, according to Gallup.

Unfortunately, it’s not. One important contributor is the cluelessness of journalists on economics and statistics. Even a fairly well-educated voter, untrained in economics, is saturated with so much nonsense in the media every day that it is asking a lot to expect them to understand how a market economy really works.
