Corrections and clarifications: An earlier version of this story misidentified Fox Business News' Lisa Kennedy Montgomery.

Seth Meyers says Fox News might want to take a closer look at how they approach presidential news.

He pointed that out Wednesday night after Senate Republicans delayed a vote on their version of the healthcare bill due to a lack of support.

"Fox & Friends showers Trump with so much praise, they're starting to sound like the helicopter parents of a (bad) private school kid," Meyers said. "Our Donny would never collude with Russia," he said, imagining a meeting with the headmaster. "Do you know how much money we give to this school?"

Meyers also poked fun at how Fox & Friends approached the criticism that the bill will leave 22 million uninsured and, according to Harvard researchers, could lead to thousands of deaths. In another Fox News clip, Lisa Kennedy Montgomery said everyone will eventually die, and there's no way to know when.

"Imagine if your doctor said, 'Your test results came in and I have good news and bad news — the good news is, we're all going to die,'" Meyers joked.
