No, but you might have called her into your office for some stern discipline and one-on-one mentoring.

Obvious, we have nothing really better to do.
A great FR moment happens again:
Kwong got the gong for being wrong!
Or: Gonging the Kwong for being wrong!
Really on this I’m going to side with you reporter...
it was a secret trip!..
its would of had a cover story
That Trump was going to have a typically boring Thanksgiving. Of Golf and Turkey
She printed the cover story..
That just means the White House had good security for this secret trip..
Newsweek’s Jessica Kwong was fired for being wrong!

Two kwongs don’t make a right.
Making an honest mistake under these conditions would be understandable.
The real problem was the venom and snark of the article. She was writing for a diminishing core of readers who just lap up "news" sources like Newsweek.
It wasn't a mistake like, "The President plans a quiet holiday at home." That could have been covered by a correction that said, "Obviously, we didn't know the details of the President's trip." And it would have been no big deal.
Instead, it was a typical Orange Man Bad story. She and Newsweek looked like complete hacks, and no amount of corrections could have fixed it.
A whole lot of people are tired of this kind of garbage.
I really doubt that Jessica wrote that piece in order to provide cover for the president’s trip.
Within 48 hours she will be working for the New York Times.
Lefties protect their own.
And that is unforgivable.
Newsweek has no editors; it’s just a place for unemployed internet “influencers” to drop click-bait anti-Trump garbage and pad their resumes. I doubt they even paid her a salary.
That’s a shame.
1. Was Ms. Kwong really "terminated", or was she given a low profile opportunity somewhere else in the (cough, cough) "news" organization; and,
2. If "terminated", will she be quietly be picked up by a fellow-traveling (cough, cough) "news" organization or network?
One suspects that she will not find herself in the unemployment line.
NYT to hire in 3, 2, 1
‘An Asian female at that.’
I’d be a lot more impressed if they fired a black female; the most sacrosanct cohort on earth...
We still have a long way to go but we are winning the war. Like I said, all it takes is for good people to stand up to evil.
A lot of people were saying that conservatives ought to abandon social media and leave it for the liberals.
I'm glad that advice wasn't taken.
I am so happy he surprised everyone with his visit. But what if he went to palm Beach had a family dinner and played golf. The man works like a dog and had never taken a vacation in 3 years.
No, but you might have called her into your office for some stern discipline and one-on-one mentoring.
Did Newsweek really fire him or just transfer him to the NYT?
My brother is executive editor of a major newspaper. He has to cut costs—usually once or twice a year—usually by laying off reporters and low level editors. This has been going on for years.
Yeah for a reporter to get fired for Hoax News is unheard of.
Nothing a good spanking couldn’t fix.
