Justice Ginsburg to retire


Still haven't found any other media sources claiming this.

They are paid to post...

That doesn't make any logical sense as there is nothing to gain from it.

More likely they're gullible and some fringe click-bait site suckered them in with a "big news" type story.

Like occasionally when you hear about someone falling for an Onion story as real.

She is back working from home, allegedly.
Tough old lady.

That may have once been a valid point but in this era of budget cuts and rush to publish, I see gross errors way too often in major media stories.

Here's some examples.

Please note, I'm not picking on CNN, you can look at google images for FOX or others is you prefer.

I happen to have just corrected it then came upon this post of yours the next page. (fyi I realized it myself before clicking on the 3rd page) Kudos for spotting that! But more precisely, it's not a misspelling in the same way as the one in that article. I simply typed the wrong word.

Incidentally, off-topic: Does anyone have the same problem as I have: getting extra blank line spacing after posting?

P.S. I wish people don't start such misleadingly titled threads. It's achieves nothing but just wasting everybody's time and disappointing some people unnecessarily.

P.P.S. Roboteer, please scan this post and tell me if I had misspelled any word.

Santa Monica Observer is a free weekly newspaper. That alone doesn't mean it's not reliable, but since this is the only reference (so far?) to Ginsburg retiring, it does seem a bit suspect. Stan Greene is listed s "staff writer." I don't know if that means he's a columnist or what. Given the spelling errors in the piece, I'm not sure if an editor looked over the piece before posting it either. The piece he has written doesn't even include "soures say," much less names any sources. The first thing the OP should have done when coming across this article is to a Google search on RBG. I just did and there is nothing on her impending retirement.

Ruth needs to retire. I wish her ZERO ill will - but it's time.
