CNN Calls Out Fux Noise For Falsely Identifying Photos at Border As 'Pallets Of Baby Formula For

Illegal Immigrants’

CNN called out Fox News hosts like Sean Hannity for falsely identifying photos from a border facility as “pallets and pallets of baby formula for illegal immigrants and their families.”

Rep. Kat Cammack is among a group of Republicans who have expressed outrage that President Joe Biden’s administration continues to provide baby formula for migrant infants while Americans deal with dire shortages. Cammack has appeared on several Fox News programs to complain about the issue, and shared photos that she says were given to her by a CBP agent.

But CNN’s Alex Koppelman reports, in the Reliable Sources newsletter, that the photos were misidentified on the air. He singled out Hannity and the hosts of Fox & Friends, and pointed out that the products on the pallets in the photos were clearly marked as powdered milk, not formula:

The photo Hannity pointed to, and the one that followed it, showed boxes and boxes clearly labeled NIDO. As anyone at Fox could have discovered with about a minute’s worth of fact-checking, NIDO is not baby formula; it is powdered milk. As its maker, Nestlé, specifically notes: “NIDO® products are only intended for children ages 1 year and older.”

Now look at this bird (picture of tulip) is that the strangest bird you’ve ever seen???

I was watching their morning talking points show the other day. The topic was the baby formula story. BTW Hunter Biden segments are about 5 minutes long. As they finished their bit the camera pans over to a big wall of monitors - BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE was all it said. The camera stayed on it for a good 10 seconds. I almost spit up my coffee. That’s what they have been talking about for a minute or so . I guess they have to make sure people watching with the sound down have to know what topic #1 is.

Besides NOT being formula, I'm sure it's not enough to relieve the shortage caused by a formula plant shutting down......

WHAT IDIOTS.

6. Typical Fox fascism. Hannity didn't even do 30 seconds of Google searching. Had he done so...

...he would have discovered that Nido is a product that is very popular in Mexico and Latin America in general. I found out about that when I needed dry milk for making bread and bought a big can of Nido; that's all that was available at the time (early days of the pandemic). The printing on the label was predominantly Spanish, and the English part was in much smaller type. Naturally, I also found the product in the "international" section of the market.

Fox News isn't run by idiots. They act with premeditated malice.
