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.

How many times did they report Bob Hope dead before Bob Hope died?
Yes, they do. They prepare for eventualities in order to be able to report immediately. RBG is knocking on the door... they accidentally posted the graphic before it’s time.
‘E’s not pinin’! ‘E’s passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! ‘E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ‘E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed ‘im to the perch ‘e’d be pushing up the daisies! ‘Is metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘E’s off the twig! ‘E’s kicked the bucket, ‘e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

I think maybe you missed my point. I understand they have graphics prepared for these things (and stories, too, no doubt) - but how do you “accidentally” post the graphic on-air? It’s not like it’s sitting on monitor 4, waiting for the moment when Ruthless Ginsburg kicks the bucket - SOMEONE had to cue it up from wherever it’s kept, waiting for the happy moment.
I'm just sayin'.....
Well, she DOES have gray hair...
Somebody obviously created the graphic in anticipation of her supposedly dying this year. Whoever created it, and whoever let it be shown on the air, should be sacked, IMO.
"I will kill you all
Not a thing you can do about it

Squirrelly wrath
You're all gonna die
You're all gonna die . . ."
Serious question. What proof is that she is alive other than her supporters tell us she is?
They were just getting ready for the announcement, she’s probably starting to bloat up and put off an odor.
“...shes probably starting to bloat up and put off an odor.”
I dunno. That describes Hillary, too and SHE’S not dead.
In response, CNN heard from Buzzfeed that POTUS Trump is dead.
The Court has completed its public work for January. Their next ‘public’ sitting begins Tuesday February 19.
I don’t expect we will have any update whatsoever until RBG would miss oral arguments scheduled for that day.
Pining for the Fjords!
Was this a Tom Petty redux? Waiting ......
You do have a point!
I remember they did the same with JP II.
If I’m watching a TV show or movie, and there is some actor or actress that I can’t remember what other show I’ve seen them in, I go to Wikipedia so I can sleep that night.
That’s where I’m at too. Maybe this will force their hand. We think you are bluffing... Call... Show us the cards.
