It is shown that the Riemann hypotheses fails for two types of arbitrarily close approximations of the Riemann zeta function. The first type is meromorphic and approximates the zeta function outside of a small set. The second type is quasi-meromorphic, agrees with the zeta function outside of an even smaller set and approximates the zeta function everywhere.

Keywords: Tangential approximation, Riemann zeta function.
