In early September, Bloomberg Law published a hit piece on a recent Department of Labor (DOL) hire accusing him of posting anti-Semitic messages on Facebook.
From the moment the article was published, it was clear Bloomberg Law reporter Ben Penn badly misinterpreted DOL official Leif Olson’s obvious sarcasm and then used that misinterpretation to try and get Olson fired. Olson resigned before the article was published. Penn had reached out to his superiors asking them how they felt about his allegedly anti-Semitic comments.
