Doocy ignores Fox personalities' role in advancing "death panels" smear

SUMMARY: On Fox & Friends, Steve Doocy debunked the "death panels" smear but completely ignored the role of Fox News hosts and guests in advancing it, saying "these so-called death panels as you have read about on the blogosphere and heard about elsewhere, these have been so incendiary, using that term -- and what they were referring to was this provision in the House bill that ... would provide funding so you could talk to a doctor and others about living wills and also hospice care and stuff like that. But it has been such a third-rail issue." Fox personalities have repeatedly fearmongered and misinformed on "death panels" and end-of-life care provisions in health reform legislation.
