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

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.

Yep... This is the most likely and common sense scenario.

Maybe she passed away, but the graphic was aired before the official statement went out.

That would make my day!

As Mayor of Munchkin City,
in the county of the Land of Oz,
I welcome you most regally.
But we've got to verify it legally, to see
To see?
If she
If she?
Is morally, ethically, spiritually
physically, positively, absolutely,
Undeniably and reliably dead.

If she has died, this should be proof positive to the world what slimy people they are.

Imho, she is dead. But they are actively searching for a body double to replace her, even if none of the biometrics will match (retinal scan, fingerprints, DNA). Their technical operatives can always go in on the back and hack the databases to say the new ones are ok.

Remember that Hellary pulled that stunt during the campaign when she trotted out her body double after that coughing episode.

Given the current state of insanity from the Democrats, don’t be surprised if they argue that death shouldn’t disqualify someone from sitting on the Supreme Court.

There's no reason Kagan and Sotomayor can't utilize a Ouija board to glean RBG's opinions from the Hereafter.

Yes, I could see that one being used. It’s quite hilarious actually, we know their playbook better than they do, and we now have our Belicheck/Brady to exploit it... MAGA

How long were they half-staffed for Justice Scalia when he was murdered?

She sure did. And at the risk of sounding like some kind of weird conspiracy theory nut - I just COULD NOT buy seeing her spazz out on live TV and get thrown like a hunk of meat into a van then whisked away... only to have her happy smiling self emerge an hour later and hug some random child.

So... yeah, the idea of body doubles isn’t so far-fetched after all. Of course, her co-workers on the Supreme Court would presumably notice (a couple of them might even bring it to our attention).

Alfred Nobel “due to poor reporting in a French newspaper” read his own obituary instead of his brother Ludvig’s when his brother died and an employee set up the wrong person to be the subject. It listed him (Alfred) as the Dynamite King and the Merchant of Death.

He had hundreds of patents for his inventions of nitroglycerine blasting caps and practical forms of dynamite, both for construction and warfare. His shock led him to change his life and to start the Nobel Peace Prize with some of his estimated $265 million of wealth (2018 value) to be known for peace instead of slaughter in war.

Some historians dispute the story because they couldn’t locate written evidence.

Wiki-style


When I hear that a notable person died I also go and check wikipedia. It could only be minutes after the announcement and usually wikipedia already has been updated. They are fast (if not always accurate).

Note before anyone jumps and says wiki is slanted towards the left and there is a lot of fake information embedded with true information. Perhaps all true, but I usually just check wiki when I want a general background on a subject.

She should release a statement:
“The reports of my death have been greatly anticipated.”

Oh, yeah, Twain said exaggerated, I know.

Maybe it is true and just wasn’t released yet?

Yeah, that wasn't an accident.

That was a dry run.

Practice. Same set up that caused TWA 800.

Dang, I just saw here at the gym, and she was running circles around me!


Good one.

Maybe that’s like an Elvis sighting. Someday that will be as common as UFOs on Georgio Tsoukalos’ front lawn.
