![White House Correspondent Natalie Winters Gets Dragged For Viral Typo, But Nobody With Half A Brain Cell Actually Cares]()

Getting dragged on social media.
Typos will happen when you work in the digital media space. Heck, it happens when you work in any media space. Yes, we can try to be perfect and get everything right, but even with the best grammar editing tools, and experienced editors, there are bound to be some words out of place or typos, especially in long-form writing styles.
As a writer typing thousands of words daily, I know I've caught my fair share of mistakes after a blog goes live. I frantically message my editor to update it, hoping no one notices the mistakes. While we try to avoid mistakes like this, we are human, and they are bound to happen.
However, when posting a short social media caption, one hopes not to make a typo, and one should definitely triple-check your grammar and spelling if you're a White House Correspondent. In this political climate? Anyone and everyone is looking for a reason to drag you.
Natalie White, co-host of
Steve Bannon's War Room and recently named White House Correspondent, is under fire for a typo on a social media post highlighting her new job position.
As a co-host for the "#1 political podcast hosted by Steve Bannon," according to their social media bio, Natalie will report directly from D.C. during on-air time to give accurate updates on what's unfolding in the Oval Office and Capitol Hill. Naturally, it is a big deal to be named a White House Correspondent, no matter what media outlet you work for. Because of the honor this position holds, one would assume that you'd double-check your spelling on a post before boasting about yourself.
However, this is not the case for Winters, who made a horrible typo in her post to X, highlighting her new role.
"War Room White House Corespondent."

However, the word "Corespondent," while a real word, is not what Winters thought she was typing. Corespondent is defined as "a person cited in a divorce case as having committed
adultery with the
respondent." Yeah... definitely NOT what Natalie Winters will be doing professionally.
One would assume that a typo on one social platform means it would be carried over to the next, but she spelled her title correctly on Instagram. I guess cross-checking your spelling went out of the window...
I clocked the typo quickly when I came across her post on X, noting how viral it went. However, it appears that Winters is steering directly into the skid, by leaving it up and celebrating the fact that it garnered a whopping 15 million views.

Regardless, a number of left-wing accounts on X were quick to tear her a new one. The replies are brutal yet hilarious, but something tells me she couldn't care less.
