It's about time decent people started standing up to evil.
It actually should depend on whether the White House gave the reporter any information that led to his story or if he just made it up.
The White House wouldn’t have released information about the surprise trip for security reasons. So if asked, how would they have responded?
I’m guessing the reporter was assigned the story, couldn’t get anyone to talk and so made up the story. And if so, he should be fired. But if he had a valid source, then firing seems a bit harsh.
Maybe she can learn to code.
Nice to see jessica the hateful leftist get what she deserves for her fake news.

Kwong is gone but Newsweak still have big problem: Pay Too Low
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..
Within 48 hours she will be working for the New York Times.
Lefties protect their own.
Newsweek has no editors; its 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
Yeah for a reporter to get fired for Hoax News is unheard of.
This will free up the reporter to get a job with a much more significant publication like, say, the East Dogpatch Weekly Advertiser and Garage Sale Guide
Kwong printed an accusation as fact. The media are populated by journalists brought up under the worship of the narrative - this is largely worship of themselves, but that’s another discussion - and the part of the country they serve really believes as Joe Biden put it, in “truth over fact.” What has changed is that the part of the country that still does prefer fact to narrative has found a voice at last and there are quite a few more of us than the j-schools care to admit. I would forgive Ms. Kwong a certain astonishment over her dismissal (if that’s what it actually was) because she truly believed she was doing her job. Which she was; the rest of us just aren’t supposed to notice it.
a rare example of TDS being punished.
No worries, the Washington fake comPOST will immediately hire her!! SCUMBAGS!!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She had probably already accepted a position elsewhere and was set to start work with her new employer this coming Monday.
Snowflake probably called her mom saying how unfair it was - and the enabling mom likely agreed.
