NPR’s Nina Totenberg Personally Wrote Justice Alito After Falsely Reporting Retirement: ‘It’s Entirely On Me’

NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg falsely reported that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was retiring after mishearing an announcement. Totenberg personally wrote to Justice Alito to address the bombshell mistake, stating that the error was entirely on her. The legendary legal affairs correspondent discussed the incident on the program All Things Considered. NPR subsequently retracted the story after revealing how the misheard announcement led to the incorrect claim regarding the retirement of Justice Alito.
