Baby formula crisis: ABC, CBS, NBC treating Biden 'like a bystander,' media watchdog says
Millions of parents across the country affected by baby formula shortages

The Big Three networks have provided extensive coverage of the baby formula crisis in their evening newscasts, but they've been reluctant to assign blame to President Biden, according to a new study.
The conservative Media Research Center found that out of 54 evening newscast stories on the formula shortages that sent parents into a panic on ABC's "World News Tonight," "CBS Evening News," and "NBC Nightly News" between May 9 and this week, just 10 of them included "mentions of culpability or blame for the Biden administration," a rate of 19 percent.
ABC (22 stories on the baby formula crisis), CBS (17) and NBC (15) all provided what NewsBusters Research Director Scott Whitlock considered adequate coverage of the alarming story, but he told Fox News Digital his analysis found that the networks were treating Biden like a "bystander."
