On Friday’s edition of CNN News Central, Berman exclaimed, “Oh wow!” as CNN senior business reporter Matt Egan put the chart up on the wall:JOHN BERMAM: Matt Egan here with the details on this, again, pretty big increase. CNN BUSINESS REPORTER MATT EGAN: Yeah, John, look, we knew the war hit this economy like an earthquake. That is, when you look at the trend for annual inflation, look at that!
