NPR episode contains no inaccuracies about the story of Alito

• NPR episode incorrectly implied that the story of Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court was based on a rumor.
• A report was filed claiming that Alito did not, in fact, make the statement attributed to him about the nomination.
• After the allegations, there was no evidence to support the claim that a key detail about the case was fabricated.

The National Public Radio (NPR) broadcast aired material, in which it was alleged that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was behind the “poisoning of the well” — and also claimed that, in fact, Alito was not, in any way, involved in the “poisoning of the well” regarding the nomination.

In a statement, NPR’s Tommie Evans said that the report’s claims about the poisoning were based on information that, in his view, was not supported by evidence. “We have to be careful about what we say,” Evans said.

What exactly was the reason for the accusations, NPR said, was that it was not clear whether Alito had made a statement about the nomination.

The material also contained a claim that, on the day, when the Supreme Court was to hear the case, the judge who was to decide it was Donald Trump’s pick. That judge was Alito.

According to the allegations, the plan to poison the well was implemented by the media. In particular, it was claimed that Fox News and CBS reported that the plan had been carried out. Alito has served on the Supreme Court since 2006, which is why the plan was allegedly carried out by him.
