We are dropping the ball.

I admit that.

When gas prices were steadily climbing…peaking at more than $4/gallon nationally, we were sounding the alarm. Warning people that $7 isn’t far off!

Now gas prices have dropped, down 21-cents in a month…23 cents in the Lowcountry to $3.67/gallon. The much maligned dollar made strides against the Euro lately and it went virtually unnoticed by the general public.

You can blame left-wing media bias if you want…but I think it’s far less sinister. I think it’s as simple as rising prices, and people struggling are sexier stories to the mainstream national media.

Granted…$3.67 is still tough to cope with. But it appears the worst (barring a tropical system or more turmoil in the middle east) is behind us. 

I will push for more on this story today during our editorial meetings.
