A new chart from Yahoo Finance shows the U.S. dollar down more than 10% year-to-date against major world currencies. The Mexican peso, euro, and British pound are all climbing — but one currency is mysteriously missing from the list: the Russian ruble.

The omission stands out because, by many accounts, the ruble is one of the top performers against the dollar this year. Whether you like Russia or not, facts are facts, and selectively leaving out the ruble raises serious questions about narrative control in mainstream economic coverage.

Some say it’s just editorial oversight. Others point to a deeper issue — are outlets ignoring uncomfortable economic realities because they don’t align with political messaging?

Meanwhile, everyday Americans are paying the price of a weaker dollar. From rising import costs to declining purchasing power, what’s happening on the global currency stage does matter, and it deserves honest reporting.

We recreated the full chart — ruble included — so you can judge for yourself.
