Outer Limits Of ConformityNewsweek Editor Demoted After Publishing Fake News About Trump.We covered the initial part of this story over the weekend. It was where Jessica Kwong was fired for misreporting and even writing the story early claiming that Trump spent his Thanksgiving day playing golf and tweeting. Where in reality he was serving dinner to our troops in Afghanistan. Due to this simplistic minded attack on our President. Jessica lost her job, and to that i say "good riddance" Aside from that however the editor in charge was also demoted. I have hope that more news organizations will soon follow suit.
