Vox Media splits with ex-WaPo reporter Taylor Lorenz after explosive comments on UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder

Vox Media is ending its deal to distribute former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz’s podcast and YouTube show after the journalist made a slew of explosive comments about the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a source close to the situation confirmed.

Semafor scribe Max Tani, who first reported the news, revealed late Sunday that the controversial tech columnist had a short-term partnership that is set to expire at the beginning of the year.

Lorenz took to social media on Monday ripping the report as “100% false,” claiming media reporters “lie” about her as she vowed to discuss the situation on her podcast this week. “This is 100% false and I’m very much still working with Vox, and my show is not up for ‘renewal’ because I actually own 100% of the show and control the distribution, not Vox. Media reporters continue to lie about me! Tune into the pod this week where I’ll discuss :),” she wrote on X.

Vox declined to comment.

A spokesperson for Semafor hit back, saying: “As Max Tani accurately reported, Vox is ending its relationship with Taylor Lorenz in 2025. You can read that story here.”

A source with knowledge of the deal confirmed the report to The Post, adding that Lorenz’s deal will expire at the beginning of 2025.

What did she know and when did she know it?
She has family connection to the wayback archive sote, so they’ve scrubbed info off the net at her request.
She’s ivy league herself, but denied it whenever she thinks she can pretend.

I don’t like Taylor Lorenz but she should move to Rumble.
The 1st Amendment isn’t partisan. She had an opinion.

This isn’t a first amendment issue.

The government is not sanctioning her, the people are outraged.

A private company sees that it would be harmful to their bottom line to do business with someone who has her warped views.

This is the person who doxxed libs of tictoc. IIRC she showed up at a relatives door.

I didn’t say Vox Media didn’t have a right to end their relationship with her and what she has done in the past is non-sequitur to this.
