Late Night Comedy Mocks Fox Misreporting Of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Death

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on January 22, 2019 · Flag

The Fox & Friends “technical error” yesterday that indicated Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died cried out for late-night comedy. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah heeded the call.

As we reported yesterday, a full-screen graphic saying, “Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg 1933-2019" displayed for a few seconds before an interview with a college professor about liberalism on campuses. Eight minutes later, the show apologized, claiming that “a technical error in the control room triggered” the graphic.

The Late Show did a whole segment mocking Fox that, in my opinion, lacked the necessary punch. The Daily Show got it in a briefer, but funnier lampoon.

Have some laughs at Fox News’ expense below, from the January 21, 2019 The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. The RBG portion of The Daily Show video begins at about 3:00.

The news hasn’t been so rosy lately for Trump fans. Guess Fox wanted to give them something to brighten their day, even if just for a moment.

Trump may be bad for the country, but OTOH he is comedy gold!
