EMBED

SUMMARY: Fox & Friends allowed former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) to criticize Democrats for considering using the budget reconciliation process to pass health care reform by characterizing reconciliation as "saying" to opponents, "you don't matter," while "cram[ming]" reform "down people's throats." In addition to failing to disclose that Frist is a partner in a health care investment firm, Fox & Friends hosts ignored that Frist repeatedly voted to use the reconciliation process to pass tax cuts and voted against amendments that would have stripped reconciliation language from budget resolutions.
