Jessica Pressler is no longer going to work at Bloomberg’s investigation unit after the disgraced New York magazine writer penned last week’s story about the Stuyvesant High School senior who allegedly made $72 million trading stocks, only to have it proved a hoax.

That High School kid needs help. This was not just a little white lie, this was a huge whopper of deceit that has already gotten somebody disgraced and fired from her job. Yes, she deserved it. Mohamed (if that is his name) is almost an adult, and for him to need this level of pretense to feel good about himself is very telling. I would not hire him, but I’ll bet there are many shady businesses who would hire him as a talented Con Man.

Yes, she deserved it.

Her readership deserved the facts checked which is so archaic with today's so called reporters.

As someone who use to live in Queens and dealt with Muslims all day long, I knew immediately this kid was lying because that’s what Muslims do! All day long I use to hear garbage like this, they own 5 buildings, 3 cars, own a jet plane and I find out they drive a taxi. Lying is the order of the day to Muslims when it comes to jobs and money. Plus does this woman know nothing about how the stock market works? Does she realize the kind of money this kid would have had to invest or the return he would have had to have a gain of $72 MILLION?

Yep, that’s exactly right. Talk to anyone who lives there, you ask a Muslim what they do for a living and they always give the most outlandish answer “I am CEO of my own company, I own 5 jet plane, 12 apt building, I am worth $229 million dollar” It’s like a type of insanity with these mofos, and they’ll tell you all that with the straightest kind of face. And BTW I notice that SAME kind of lying technique when it comes to Obama, he does the SAME things. He will tell the most outlandish lie going and say it with the straightest face and not give a damn who believes him or not which proves to me even more the guy is Muslim.

All street thugs are trying to put one over on the ofays. BHO is one of them, even as articulate as he may seem.

When he won the election in 2008 i happened to see him telling a couple of his campaign people to “knock it off” because they were being a bit loud during an interview. It was nothing more than a street scene with the local gang leader dumpin on his bros.

Thats who we just elected as the Leader of the Free World. The man in charge of the nukes. God help us.

The following 6 years havent changed my mind.

If he can fool so many he has a lucrative future in sales or politics.

She casually dismissed the necessity for “facts” as her magazine isn’t a “financial publication.”

Today’s reporters virtually admit out in the open that the narrative matters more than stupid facts.
