@BreakingNews Sparks Confusion On Twitter With Obama Making ‘Personal’ vs. ‘Personnel’ Announcement Typo

Alas, President Obama has nothing personal to tell America in the Rose Garden tomorrow, though many on Twitter suddenly believed so for about an hour or so today. @BreakingNews, a self-explanatory Twitter feed owned by NBC News, announced at around 6:15 PM today that the President would be making a “personal announcement” tomorrow afternoon. We can confirm that no, there is no drama in the White House to which we shall be privy– it is a personnel announcement that the President will deliver tomorrow.

The White House announced earlier today that former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray would take the helm at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. A few hours later, @BreakingNews announced that the President would also be making a “personal” announcement. We can confirm through Mediaite White House Correspondent Tommy Christopher that the announcement is one in the same, as the press calendar for tomorrow does, in fact, have a “personnel announcement” scheduled for the Rose Garden tomorrow at 1:05 P.M.

As of press time, the error is still on the Twitter page and had been retweeted more than 100 times.
