Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy skates, following the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals' decision last week upholding dismissal of a defamation suit brought by a Maine educator mocked by Doocy and his pals.

Still, the case brought by Maine Public Schools' Superintendent Leon Levesque did shed some light on how Fox & Friends works. We learn, for instance, from Doocy's Jan. 30, 2008 affidavit that:

He likes Google News! Stated Doocy: "I rely on Google News in my daily practice as a broadcast journalist  because the service searches only bona fide news outlets. In my experience, Google News is a very useful and reliable tool for researching other news outlets’ coverage of the news items that I would like to discuss on Fox & Friends."

He trusts the Associated Press! Stated Doocy: "In my thirty years of experience as a broadcast journalist, I have learned that the Associated Press sets the standard for reliable journalism. The reliability of the Associated Press is so well-established that journalists, myself included, frequently report the facts contained in Associated Press articles without needing to corroborate its reports with other news sources."

He's got 30 years of broadcast experience! Doocy's past works includes hosting the daily entertainment and information series "House Party with Steve Doocy," the kids' show "Not Just News" and the parents' show "Parents Helper."

He's just a good guy! States Doocy, apropos of something or other: "I have also served as the national spokesman for the March of Dimes’ “Walk America” campaign."

It's all about the fun! States Doocy: "My co-hosts and I like to give our opinions of the day’s headlines, often using humor as a way to express our views, in order to make the news more interesting and to give our viewers the feeling that, in addition to just hearing about the news, they are interacting with their friends. To this end, the tone of much of our show is conversational and irreverent, rather than strictly reportorial."
