'Repugnant CHILD': Bloomberg's Ben Penn's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day just keeps getting WORSE (screenshot)

Boy howdy, Bloomberg’s Ben Penn really and truly screwed up with his coverage and ‘scoop’ about Leif Olson. He had to know this wouldn’t go over well with the masses in social media, right? Even fellow journalists like John Podhoretz are bustin’ his chops for what he’s done.

Of course, Ben posted this perhaps thinking he would get some sort of sympathy …

My fellow journalist ⁦@jpodhoretz⁩ is DMing me that I’m a “miserable prick” and a “repugnant child.” All over this piece: https://t.co/68kDvaFn0h pic.twitter.com/VJGLaD9vTZ

And as we all know, it’s not like John Podhoretz is a huge fan of Trump or his administration in general.

So Ben really screwed up here.

You definitely have that coming!

Here for the ratio because you obviously think anti-Semitism only exists to get people you don't like fired

He's right.

And you know what, given your targeted edit to present false context (in other words, lie and deceive), he’s correct.

Can you screenshot half of the DM so you can form our own opinions?

He was being kind.

Your malicious, egregious behavior now makes you completely worthless in your profession. No serious person will give you the time of day now.

Hope you picked up some kind of marketable skill that you can use outside of journalism.
