History
The program starts at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time with the latest Fox News Live headlines and analyzes the news of the morning. It continues with many different segments including interviews, updates of news stories with correspondents at any number of bureaus, analysis from the hosts, and many different regular morning show segments. Fox & Friends evolved from Fox X-press, FNC's original morning-news program.
The show also has a list of regular contributors, including Dr. Manny Alvarez with "Ask Dr. Manny" and "Dr. Manny's Healthbeat," two regular health segments, Mancow Muller with a short chat session towards the end of the weekday edition of the program, and any number of other contributors.
After the September 11, 2001, attacks, an additional hour was added to the beginning of the weekday show, but branded as a separate program called Fox & Friends First. It was the first FNC program to air live for the day, starting at 6:00 a.m. It was discontinued on July 13, 2008 and replaced with an additional hour of Fox & Friends. (Such a change, however, is only cosmetic: Both shows were both produced by the same staff and cycled the same anchors, the only difference being the graphics package.)
In the first quarter of 2007, Fox & Friends held a significant lead in the Nielsen ratings among morning television shows on American cable channels, averaging 769,000 viewers, compared to CNN's American Morning's average of 372,000 viewers and MSNBC's Imus in the Morning program, which averaged 361,000 viewers at the time of its cancellation by MSNBC on 2007-04-11.[1]

Controversies
Fox & Friends has been criticized for appearing to have a conservative bias. Some instances include:
- During a 2003 episode in the run-up to the Iraq war, Janeane Garofalo came on the program to speak out against the war. In a heated exchange, co-anchor Brian Kilmeade told Garofalo, "Saddam must love you." Later in the interview, Kilmeade said, "you've accused this network of being a mouthpiece for the White House." Garofalo replied, "Because it is."[1]
- During a 2005 episode, Mancow Muller launched into a tirade against Democratic politician Howard Dean, calling him "vile," "evil," and "the enemy," and recommending that he be "tried for treason" and "kicked out of America."[2] However, Mancow is not a host on the show, but an opinionated morning host of his own radio show out of Chicago who appears as a "F&F" guest.
- During a 2007 episode, Fox & Friends hosts repeated the false claim that presidential candidate Barack Obama had attended a Muslim religious school in Indonesia during his childhood, and reported that the campaign team of rival presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was investigating the matter. The claim itself was debunked by CNN,[citation needed] even though it was still aggressively promoted on Fox & Friends. An Obama official issued a statement accusing both Fox & Friends and Fox News host John Gibson of reporting the story without checking the facts.[3] Fox was forced to retract the story, and for some time, Obama refused to appear on Fox News altogether. News Editorial VP John Moody chastised the show in an internal memo, stating "For the record: seeing an item on a website does not mean it is right. Nor does it mean it is ready for air on FNC."
School superintendent Leon Levesque of Lewiston Maine sued Fox News Network, and "Fox and Friends" co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade for slander after an April 23, 2007 Fox & Friends parody story about a student prank in Maine and the school superintendent's reaction. Doocy and Kilmeade erroneously reported the story as true at the time. Freelance writer Nicholas Plagman was the source of the story and falsely listed the Associated Press as the source of the information. Levesque contacted FOX after the story was run, and a retraction was aired. The suit was thrown out in 2008, with the court, under U.S. District Judge D. Brock Hornby concluding that, although the Fox defendants acted unprofessionally in not confirming the quotations and "were certainly gullible," there was no showing of malice on their part.[4]
