 Bloomberg Retracts Hit Job Article Falsely Claiming Antisemitism From Trump Labor Aide
October 5, 2019 By Tristan Justice

One month after Bloomberg Law published a story with false allegations of antisemitism from a Trump appointee at the Department of Labor, the outlet has officially retracted the article.

“In reporting on a series of social media posts from Department of Labor official Leif Olson, we failed to meet our editorial standards for fairness and accuracy,” Bloomberg said in a statement announcing its decision where the article would otherwise be posted. “We regret that lapse and apologize to our readers and to Mr. Olson.”

Last month, Bloomberg published a story charging Leif Olson, a senior policy adviser at the U.S. Department of Labor, of antisemitism over Facebook posts that were clearly sarcastic.

Why did they even run the piece since commiecrats aren't against anti-semitism?
