LAYERS AND LAYERS OF FACT-CHECKERS AND EDITORS: Newsweek fires reporter who published inaccurate story on Trump’s Thanksgiving Day plans. “‘Newsweek investigated the failures that led to the publication of the inaccurate report that President Trump spent Thanksgiving tweeting and golfing rather than visiting troops in Afghanistan,’ a Newsweek representative told the Washington Examiner. ‘The story has been corrected, and the journalist responsible has been terminated. We will continue to review our processes and, if required, take further action.’”

Tellingly, no word that the editor who published the story is also being sacked.
