Analyst Accuses Financial Press of War Propaganda Over Oil Glut Claims
Mario Nawfal Interviews
"Bloomberg, WSJ, and FT All Got This Completely Wrong" - Economist Philip Pilkington
What was said
"I think it was propaganda. I think it was war propaganda and I think a bunch of the financial and economics press participated in a particularly virulent form of war propaganda and I think their credibility is going to be hurt for it."
Energy analyst Philip directly accuses Bloomberg, Financial Times, and Wall Street Journal of spreading war propaganda by falsely reporting an oil glut during the Iran crisis. He claims the Trump administration and financial media fabricated supply narratives while the Strait of Hormuz operated at only 20-30% capacity. He argues the papers' credibility will suffer after oil prices spiked following the MOU collapse.
