Rather than explore ways to address the problem, or even to offer a rational debate on the subject, Fox News went directly to blaming President Biden and the innocent babies brought across the border by refugees fleeing poverty and violence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51146\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Biden Trashes Fox News Hack for \u2018Garbage\u2019 Question About Immigrant Children<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The abhorrent positions expressed on Fox News reflect the bigotry against immigrants that Donald Trump has enabled and exacerbated. But Chris Hayes, host of <em>&#8220;All In&#8221;<\/em> on MSNBC, wasn&#8217;t taking it lightly. And he let loose with an impassioned monologue that effectively dismantled the noxious Fox News narrative <em>(video below)<\/em>. Hayes began by saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have reached the point where prominent figures in the conservative movement, including Republican politicians, office holders, and Fox News hosts, are calling for the United States to intentionally starve babies in its care. That is not hyperbole, and it&#8217;s not satire. It is the actual stated position now on the right.&#8221; [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Causes and solutions are not what the modern conservative movement really does when faced with a legitimate governing crisis. What they do is sniff around, like a dog after a carcass, to find the grossest way to demagogue the issue. And they have certainly found that here.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hayes then did something that is anathema to Fox News. He provided actual facts. He noted that there are less than a thousand infants in the custody of immigration authorities, and that they are required by law to feed them. That&#8217;s a miniscule percentage of the more than 3.7 million babies in America. So the argument that <em>&#8220;illegal&#8221;<\/em> babies (as Fox News disgustingly refers to them) are depriving American babies of formula is a deliberate and despicable lie. But that doesn&#8217;t stop Fox News from dispensing such hateful commentaries, and Hayes offers up a damning video compilation of them doing so.<\/p>\n<p>Hayes also mocked the Fox News narrative that <em>&#8220;The right solution to this formula crisis and shortage is to stop feeding the immigrant babies.&#8221;<\/em> Obviously, if all of the formula provided to immigrant infants was redirected to Americans it wouldn&#8217;t make a dent in the problem. But, as previously noted, Fox News isn&#8217;t interested in solutions, just casting blame and manufacturing outrage. And while Fox News and heartless Republicans (yes, that&#8217;s redundant) are lying about the reasons for the formula shortage, the Biden administration is actually <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/white-house\/biden-speak-retailers-manufacturers-baby-formula-shortage-rcna28538\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">working to solve the problem<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In one especially loathsome part of the video that Hayes played, Fox hate monger Jesse Watters asked <em>&#8220;Why are we feeding illegal babies ahead of American babies?&#8221;<\/em> Just stop and think for moment about the repugnancy of that comment pitting one group of infants against another for life-saving sustenance. Hayes responded with apt revulsion saying, <em>&#8220;Because they&#8217;re babies, you doofus!&#8221;<\/em> He elaborated saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It would be a crime against humanity, and mass murder, to intentionally starve babies that you have in your custody, not to mention blatantly illegal. What is wrong with you?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is wrong with the cretins at Fox News is that they have no moral core. They are so fiercely fixated on their ultra-rightist political agenda that even the welfare of helpless infants is beyond their capacity to care. They would prefer to see migrant babies starve to death than to look realistically at the problem and seek collaborative solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49722\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Vigilantes, Lara Trump and \u2018Judge\u2019 Pirro, Issue Call to \u2018Arm Up\u2019 to Shoot Migrants<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These allegedly <em>&#8220;pro-life&#8221;<\/em> Republicans and Fox News hacks would literally take the food from a baby&#8217;s mouth in order advance their crusade of cruelty.
