'Fox & Friends' accidentally shows graphic saying Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead
The Hill ^ | January 21, 2019 | Avery Anapol

Posted on 01/21/2019 7:03:17 AM PST by Zakeet

The hosts of "Fox & Friends" on Monday apologized for showing a graphic saying Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead, blaming a control room error.

The graphic, similar to those marking the deaths of other famous figures, briefly showed a photo of Ginsburg and the dates "1933-2019."

"We need to apologize ... A technical error in the control room triggered a graphic of RBG with a date on it," co-host Steve Doocy said later in the program. "We don't want to make it seem anything other than that was a mistake. That was an accident."

"We apologize, big mistake," co-host Ainsley Earhardt added.

They’ll be needing that graphic soon enough.

ALL of the main media put together material in ADVANCE for expected developments. Some poor schmuck simply made an error of putting the wrong graphic up.

It may be true enough in reality.

Otherwise, it’s probably pretty obvious that is going to actually be the case.

She could be what with all the inaccuracies and fake news spread by the media these days. I thought McStain was dead before it was officially announced. The LEFT cannot fathom Trump electing a “Conservative” to replace her!!! Remember First Lady Edith Wilson assumed duties after October 2, 1919. Very few knew what was going on.

The obits and film montages for anyone the Enemy Media deems to be ‘important’ are already written and revised weekly in case the Dems need them to move to action quickly, making the most out of any crisis.

Hope I live long enough to see all of their ‘heroes’ pass.

Yep. I’m mean that way. ;)

Wishful thinking at Fox???

If that did happen, I could write Chucky’s statement. In light of the current government shutdown, we should not and cannot hold hearings on a new Justice while government employees are not getting paychecks....

Technically it was in error though there was nothing technical about it. Fox is attempting to insult our intelligence.

Yes, they all do these graphics in advance....but why?

Is it really that important to be the first to put up the graphic that someone is dead? Really?

It only takes a few minutes to make these. Why rush and then have these accidents? It is poor business.

Most major news networks basically have obituaries of notable people already in the can. This is the result of the pressure to be first with a breaking story.

These obituaries and tributes are constantly kept updated Wiki-style and are always ready to go at a moment's notice.

I would like her to live a longer life, with happiness, but just not on the SC.

A technical error in the control room triggered a graphic of RBG with a date on it

Did he really call her "RBG"???? He should apologize for that.

Any bets on how long flags will be flown at half mast for the woman?

I saw a promo for the “LEGO” movie featuring a legofied RBG. Hopefully the movie producers will find themselves in an uncomfortable situation as the movie opens in theaters.

A “technical error”, huh?

As if ... what? We’re supposed to believe they permanently have a graphic announcing Ginsburg’s death up there, ready to go, but someone just happened to hit the wrong button?

Sorry... guys, I’m not buying it.
