Fox News is repeatedly running an edited audio clip and mischaracterizing a reporter’s interaction with the incoming White House press secretary to claim that she laughed about a nationwide shortage of baby formula. The nation is facing an alarming shortage of baby formula due to corporate conglomeration, poor regulatory oversight, recalls at major plants, and supply chain issues worsened by the pandemic. During a May 11 Air Force One flight to Chicago, incoming White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre took questions from the press. When asked about the formula shortage, she said the Food and Drug Administration and the White House are working around the clock to address the crisis. Another reporter asked a follow-up question about who is in charge of these efforts at the White House.
