Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday mistakenly blamed Vox for a news article written by a Vice News reporter.

"Congrats to @AlxThomp & [Vox] for not letting facts get in the way of good click bait," he tweeted, linking to the plug tweet of Vice News reporter Alex Thompson.

While Spicer correctly tagged the author of the report, he mistook the news outlet on which the article was posted.

"It's @vicenews and happy to continue talking," the reporter tweeted back, including a link to his email.

The news outlet reported, citing anonymous sources, that Spicer and former chief of staff Reince Priebus delivered positive press coverage packets twice a day to the president.

Spicer disputed details of Vice News's report.

“While I won’t comment on materials we share with the president, this is not accurate on several levels,” Spicer told the news outlet in an email.

It remains unclear if such a practice was used under Spicer and Priebus and if such a practice continues to be in use under new White House chief of staff John Kelly.
