CNN reports:
“Look at that,” Sean Hannity said on Fox News Thursday night, pointing to a photo being shown next to him, “pallets and pallets of baby formula for illegal immigrants and their families even as hardworking American” — and now there was another photo — “families, we are now suffering a massive nationwide shortage.”
The photos had been provided to Fox by the office of GOP Rep. Kat Cammack, whose account of someone in the Border Patrol telling her of “pallets” of formula being sent to a border processing center had set off a whole outrage cycle on the right. They were used Friday morning as well on “Fox & Friends” during an extended interview with Cammack.
And they did not show baby 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.”
