The Labor Department has reinstated the official who resigned this week after a Bloomberg Law reporter falsely accused him of publishing “anti-Semitic” Facebook posts.

Amazingly, Bloomberg Law is standing by journalist Ben Penn’s wholly erroneous and only slightly amended report, even after conservative attorney Leif Olson’s reinstatement. Moreover, Bloomberg Law staffers were reportedly instructed not to promote news of the rehiring. Also, the newsgroup’s follow-up reporting on Olson’s reinstatement includes a complete whitewash of its earlier attempt to murder his reputation.
