Ben Fishel, a spokesman for NPR, confirmed to the Associated Press that the original story was posted at 9:33 a.m. and that the text was changed during the day.
âI can confirm that NPR is neither clairvoyant nor were we a part of a conspiracy of people who staged the events yesterday,â he wrote.
The story's hyperlink â which can't be changed after publication â also confirms that the original headline was not about the insurrection at the Capitol, since it had not yet occurred.
It simply reads, "Congress Electoral College Tally Live Updates" and "Diehard Trump Supporters Gather in the Nation's Capital to Protest Election Result."
The Wayback Machine, a tool that captures webpages at various points in time to create an "internet archive," also provides a look at the article earlier in the day.
