A reporter with NPR, the publicly funded National Public Radio, was forced to issue a correction on Oct. 2 after disseminating false information about Vice President Mike Pence, the latest in a series of mistakes in reporting about the Trump administration.

Reporting from a press conference Trump held with the Finnish president, NPR’s White House correspondent Franco Ordonez wrote, “President Trump says that VP Mike Pence was also listening in on the call with the Ukraine leader.”
