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.

Well one thing about it... This will go viral and force their hand and make them prove she is still with us or not...

She stepped on a lego piece fell down hit her head and bleed out with her dentures falling out of her face

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.

“Be Prepared” that’s the Boy Scouts marching song.

They are just waiting for the 4am talking points memo.

Accedent?

She’s alive? Could have fooled me.

[NewJerseyJoe]

I’m okay with this.

“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?

[plain talk]

Technical error? BS whoever did it should be fired.

[SMGFan]

the graphic button is right there?! Like break glass in case of emergency?

don’t you need to do a search in your graphics fies etc for it to appear?

Heard someone say Fox should troll BuzzFeed and double-down!

(Okay, now prove she hasn't died!)

Bless their little heart’s! They may have been factually wrong but they were morally right!
