72 Million More Reasons To Doubt The Mainstream Press

Media Malfeasance: In less than two weeks, bombshell stories of a vicious gang rape and a millionaire teen investor were exposed as frauds that never would have made it into print but for gross negligence and liberal bias.

Over the weekend, Jessica Pressler, a "star reporter" at New York magazine, told the story of an underage teen who'd already made $72 million trading stocks on his lunch break. It was part of a series on why people should love the city.

The story spread like wildfire, showing up in the New York Post, Marketwatch, the New York Daily News, Fox News and others.

And why not? New York magazine occupies one of the top rungs on the media elite ladder. Surely it would never publish a piece that hadn't been thoroughly fact-checked and edited.

” makes ya wonder just exactly what kind of things get taught in journalism school these days...”

ALL of the most “highly regarded” J schools are run by hard core leftists. Have been for 40 years. Columbia is the worst, but they are all scum.

Thank you, she did it all. We just gave her the moral and financial support to do what she was driven to do. She wanted to go to college and get a business degree, since she was a little girl. Only one in our family of five that has a college degree!
