Newsweek 'Fires Reporter' After Inaccurate Article on Trump’s Thanksgiving Day Plans........
theepochtimes ^ | 11/30/2019 | BY ALLEN ZHONG

Jessica Kwong, a Newsweek reporter who wrote an inaccurate article about President Donald Trump’s Thanksgiving Day plans, has been fired by the media outlet, according to the Washington Examiner.....Kwong published an article with the headline “How is Trump spending Thanksgiving? Tweeting, golfing and more” alleging that Trump only planned on tweeting and golfing over the holiday.......The article was published before reports of Trump’s surprise visit to American troops in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving emerged.

Trump and his eldest son Donald Trump Jr. reacted to the article on Twitter, with Trump Jr. writing, “It wasn’t an ‘honest mistake’ you tried to dunk on Trump and ended up dunking on yourself because you couldn’t resist. Notice how there’s never been a story that broke in Trump’s favor & had to be corrected the other way?”

“These aren’t mistakes, they are a very consistent pattern,” he wrote.

If you fired every member of The Lying, Dying Fake News Liberal Media - NO Lie They Won’t Tell for lying about Trump there wouldn’t be anyone left.

That was not the reporter’s decision. I guarantee you they will hire her back after about 2 weeks and it will go on reported.

It doesn’t change the fact that Newsweek hires liars.

If writing a malicious and inaccurate article about Trump (or any Republican) were grounds for firing, there would be no MSM left.

“”””””It doesn’t change the fact that Newsweek hires liars”””

It doesn’t change the fact that I didn’t know Newsweek is still around.

I used to read Newsweek and Time magazine occasionally even though I knew they were only pretending to be objective. I’ve had enough of pretenses. Who buys that crap anymore?

I read US News and World Report from about 1965 (used as a source forhigh school debate and speech club activities) until about the time they quite their print edition. It seemed it was more conservative than Time or Newsweak.

I suspect she doesn’t bring in enough revenue to ‘overlook’ what she wrote as they do others who are their bread and butter.
