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.

Dang, I just saw here at the gym, and she was running circles around me!
They want to be right on top of it when it happens.
“If her replacement is seated during Trump’s term, the democrats will want the flag permanently at half staff.”
Might as well. It seems to be a half mast every time someone gets a boo boo or an ouchie. It used to be rare. Only if the President died or something. After 9/11 a stinky fart on an elevator will bring the flag down for a week. It has gotten ridiculous.
Good enough for Buzzfeed, Politico, NPR, MSNBC, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, et al
“Wishful thinking at Fox???”
I doubt it; not most of them anyway. Faux news are RINO controlled mouthpieces. They want a liberal court just as much as the Dems do.
Tucker is about the only good one. Other than that you’ll do better with FBN (Dobbs, Varney, Payne)
She could be room temperature for a month and they wouldn’t admit it.
CNN used to air their morgue files as “filler” news items but it was ghastly to hear people like Bob Hope referred turn in the past tense (while flipping the channel) while he was still alive.
this airing a morgue-file graphic prematurely is nothing new and only snarky media would make a news item out it.
"Surely my Republican colleagues will agree that a president serving under the cloud of impeachment should not be afforded the opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court Justice. This position is just too important to the American people."
Until I see someone with her ruby slippers and a dwarf read the proclamation, I won’t believe it.
Maybe she passed away, but the graphic was aired before the official statement went out.
yes!!! FDR, HST, JFK, and LBJ are all calling to her
They are already flying it upside down. I don't give it much credence since I don't consider commie dems to be American anyway so it's like a foreigner doing it. Unfortunately a foreigner with voting rights at this time.
Today we have The Nobel Prize because they ran Alfred Nobel’s obit prematurely, and he didn’t like what it said.
He funded the Prize to whitewash his rep.
What would RBG have to do in her little remaining time to redeem hers?
I enjoyed the First Lego Movie.
You couldn’t pay me to see the new one.
And note just she looks much more younger & healthy in the picture, and not the old hag she became,
PLEASE show it again Fox. Felt so right the first time.
With all due respect, how do we know this aside from a few words now and then from a 3rd or 4th party court liaison? I keep looking for something recent to physically prove this other than hearsay, but haven’t seen one thing since the surgery. I’m sure they are absolutely well aware of the rumor so why haven’t they made the very very minimal effort to dispel it by now?
The question that keeps nagging at me is “would they actually try to do this?”, Yes... I think they would try to do this. It’s a law of parsimony situation.
