Nooooo.

Make us preferred on Google

'Fox and Friends' aired a graphic Monday morning indicating Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, forcing the show's hosts to apologize.

The graphic read: "SUPREME COURT JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG 1933-2019"


Watch below:

The blurb was an accident. Ginsburg is alive and the error was promptly corrected.

“We need to apologize … A technical error in the control room triggered a graphic of RBG with a date on it,” said host Steve Doocy. "We don’t want to make it seem anything other than that was a mistake. That was an accident.”

Co-host Ainsley Earhardt added: “We apologize, big mistake.

Ginsburg, 85, is recovering after having a procedure to remove cancerous nodules from her lung, which were discovered after the Justice broke three ribs in an office fall last November. Her doctors say the Justice is now cancer free and will return to work in the coming weeks. Ginsburg has been reviewing cases and arguments from home.

Having also beaten both colon and pancreatic cancers, Ginsburg said last summer she plans on remaining on the Supreme Court at least another five years.

Fox News hosts often parrot President Donald Trump's "fake news" line about other networks.

Despite the apology, people are calling out the hypocrisy of creating and running a wrong death tribute.

Many are asking why the graphic was created and aired in the first place.

Though there are theories.

Earlier this month, a Russian oligarch named Artem Klyushin wrote on Twitter that it was time to remove Ginsburg from the bench.

Trump was tagged in the tweet, which has been translated from its original Russian.

“The time has come to bring Ruth Ginsburg out of the Supreme Court judges,” Klyushin tweeted. “[Ginsburg], the star of liberal jurisprudence, has been in the Supreme Court for 25 years. It’s time for her to rest.”

Coincidence?

Coincidence?

Klyushin, whose relationship with Trump goes back years, has also bragged about having gotten Trump elected.

Above is a tweet from 2013 showing Trump and Klyushin "discussing a new project," believed by some to be Trump Tower Moscow.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
