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.

A Fox News spokesperson told The Hill: “This was a technical error that emanated from the graphics team."

Ginsburg, 85, is working from home as she continues to recover from surgery to remove cancerous nodules from her lung.

The court announced that there is no evidence of remaining cancer and Ginsburg is expected to return to the bench.

She missed oral arguments this month for the first time .....

Shades of Bob Hope. He was sitting at his breakfast table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper when he heard the announcement on the radio that he died during the night.

Just preparing for the event so that when it happens they can immediately have screen captions, etc available. No waiting while getting things together for display.

Right. Every news organization has obituaries ready for every prominent person, for the reasons you describe. This was a technical foul-up, as Fox says.

Every celebrity even near death an obituary is developed and ready to go when the time comes. It is in the computers ready to go on a moments notice. No big deal.

“That’s a half-baked explanation. The graphics team doesn’t run the production of the show. It might, however, have already worked up a graphic design for when RBG dies. But this is no different from many newspapers who have ready-to-print life bios on notable people in case they die.”

You have to wonder why they would create such a thing to begin with? Unless it’s an error, maybe they have information that there’s a strong chance that something is imminent?
