Taylor Lorenz pushed false claim LA synagogue was auctioning Palestinian land.. Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz on Monday pushed a false claim that a Los Angeles synagogue was auctioning off Palestinian land this week—a conspiracy theory that led to violent, anti-Semitic protests outside the Jewish house of worship on Sunday. Lorenz—who covers social media for the Post and often complains about being targeted by online harassment—reposted multiple comments on X, formerly Twitter, defending the synagogue protesters, promoting the false allegations, and slamming the media, including her former employer, the New York Times, for failing to give the allegations oxygen. The...

The Washington Post’s in-house cry-bully Taylor Lorenz apparently only seems to care about Big Tech when its policies affect leftists’ ability to spread their off-the-rails agitprop all over the social media landscape. Meta announced Feb. 9 that it would be limiting all political content recommended writ large to its user bases on Instagram and Threads. This apparently struck a nerve with Lorenz, who jumped on the news with a Feb. 10 piece of her own lambasting the move as “angering some news creators” who were “gearing up for a crucial election year.” Talk about projection. Lorenz is apparently still miffed,...

The Department of Education is opening an investigation into whether the Oklahoma school district where the late 16-year-old transgender student Nex Benedict attended high school failed to appropriately respond to sex-based harassment, according to a letter obtained by NBC News on Friday. The letter was addressed to the Human Rights Campaign, the country's largest LGBTQ rights group, which had filed a complaint with the department following Benedict's Feb. 8 death. Benedict died a day after engaging in a fight with three other students in a school bathroom at Owasso High School, in a case that has drawn intense media attention...

Liberal crybaby and Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz deserves an Emmy nominee for her act at an airport after surviving a “dangerous” encounter with an unmasked passenger. The liberal complained via Twitter in a long-winded series of tweets that TSA agents at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York asked passengers to remove their masks before they stepped up to the security desk. Lorenz described the situation as “dangerous” and “insane,” causing her to hold her breath for several seconds as she approached security. Nevertheless, however, she survived the traumatizing experience. “I can’t believe they're doing stuff like this in...

OPINION:In mythology, harpies are a race of half-human, half-bird creatures with pale faces and long claws who descend on prey as fast as the blowing wind. In these disenchanted times, we have, instead of those shrill hybrids, the liberal journalist.A good example is found in Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz. She recently used data gathered by a far-left activist named Travis Brown, whose activities are subsidized by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, to shred the privacy of an American citizen.OPINION:In mythology, harpies are a race of half-human, half-bird creatures with pale faces and long claws who descend...

LOL. Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz says she has been suspended by Truth Social, former President Donald Trump’s new social media platform that’s set to compete with Twitter. “I’m being silenced by big tech,” she tweeted: I’m being silenced by big tech pic.twitter.com/KbC0IZhiSF — Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) April 23, 2022 And she says she didn’t do anything “bannable”: did you do anything "bannable" or did they just ban you? — amanda silberling (@asilbwrites) April 23, 2022 Except, you know, dox the woman behind the Libs of TikTok account: I didn’t do anything! — Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) April 23, 2022 Blue-checks...

During Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” Washington Post tech columnist Taylor Lorenz said one of the reasons she revealed the identity of the so-called “Libs of TikTok” Twitter account poster was because “for all we knew, this could have been a foreign actor.” Lorenz also said given the “Libs of TikTok” poster’s willingness to conduct interviews with other media outlets, it was “quite important and in the public’s interest” to reveal who she was. “Well, it wasn’t — I would say it’s equally important describing the power that this account has,” she said. “I think it’s rare to see...

The Atlantic magazine has come up with a creative but laughable way to defend the extreme doxxing by Washington Post writer Taylor Lorenz, who once was a staff writer at their periodical. Their tactic is to broaden the definition of "doxxing" to make it fluid enough to serve the purposes of liberals. Therefore, according to the Atlantic's semantics game, what the Libs of Tik Tok did by presenting unedited videos uploaded by liberals to the very public TikTok platform was somehow "doxxing;" but when Lorenz exposed the name and other personal information of the creator of Libs of TikTok that...

The Washington Post, in the person of sobbing wokestress Taylor Lorenz, ran a story the other day about the “Libs of TikTok” account. I said some half-hearted things in defense of it initially. After a second look, I take them all back. If the Columbia Journalism School offered a class called “Dogshit Exposés,” this would be on the prospectus. It may not be first-week material, but it’s in the course. As a general rule, anyone volunteering to enter the public discourse who has influence is fair game for journalists. We have strictures against outing assault victims, jurors, some varieties of...

Now, why oh why would Taylor Lorenz go to such great lengths to make an issue of LibsOfTikTok’s faith? One has to wonder if she would have included this little nugget in her hit piece if LOTT had been a Muslim, or an atheist, or even a Catholic. This seems … oddly hateful.

As you all know, super-shrew Taylor Lorenz targeted LibsOfTikTok and wrote an entire garbage hit-piece on the woman who runs it. She went so far as to harass her family at their homes. She had to know this wasn’t going to go well because even last night when rumblings about the story coming out were starting to make their way around social media, people were pissed. And she thought this was a cute way to respond. pic.twitter.com/0XtvUoxvxo — Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) April 19, 2022 Cute typo in her meme. Super journalisty. And this morning, now that the story has dropped,...

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s wife Ashley Estes Kavanaugh has received a battery of death threats in recent days, after allegations appeared in the press that the judge sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford in 1982. The vivid missives are just one iteration of the inflamed rhetoric surrounding Kavanaugh’s nomination to the high court, following Ford’s accusations. The Ford family has similarly been threatened. “May you, your husband and your kids burn in hell,” one message to Mrs. Kavanaugh read. Another told Mrs. Kavanaugh to put a bullet in her husband’s skull. The Wall Street Journal obtained the emails on Thursday,...

TV host Mike Rowe is known for his measured, devastating take-downs of people who attack him or his work. He has perfected the art of subtly twisting the knife in the side of critics with calm, cool language. This skill was on display Thursday when Rowe responded to a woman criticized his politics on Facebook. Rowe narrates the show “How The Universe Works” on the Science Channel. The woman, Rebecca Bright, called Rowe an “anti-education, science doubting, ultra-right wing conservative” who should be fired. “I love the show How the Universe Works, but I’m lost on how the producers and...

A 23-year-old woman who became an outspoken anti-bullying advocate after a brutal beating in high school is facing assault charges after cops say she shoved a 74-year-old man to the ground during a second night of anti-Trump protests in New York City. Cops say Clinton supporter Shacara McLaurin, who had once auditioned for “American Idol,” and the man got into a heated dispute about who should have won the election that boiled over as demonstrators gathered outside President-elect Donald Trump’s skyscraper in midtown Manhattan Thursday night. “She was yelling ‘Black lives matter’ and he started yelling ‘All lives matter’ and...

"Bullying isn't cool. Bullying is lame.Bullying is ugly and has a stupid name.For a healthy world, bullying's unfit.And I think I know what we should do to i-it.Do do do do do to i-it.Let's all get together and make bullying kill itself.Bullying's an ugly thingLet's shove its face in the dirt and make bullying kill itself.Woah-oh. Woah-oh. Woah-oh." -- From the song Make Bullying Kill Itself on South ParkWhat’s the difference between a bully and a victim? It seems like a simple question, but in America’s victim-obsessed culture, the bully is often the supposed victim. As Voltaire said, “To learn...

There is a report on Brietbart here that a radial group calling itself Democracy Spring is planning on organizing "the largest civil disobedience action of the century" in hopes creating national chaos. Obviously, they are modeling their effort after 2011's Arab Spring (the fact they don't realize what an unmitigated disaster the Arab Spring was should clue you in to their cluelessness). Hence their nom de guerre: Democracy Spring. I believe another name is more appropriate: Crybully Spring Because, that is exactly they are--crybullies. They are failing to get their way at the ballot box. Rather than respect the results...

Forget about meritocracy. This is the victimocracy. The victimocracys foot soldier is the crybully. The crybully is the abuser who pretends to be a victim. His arguments are his feelings. He comes armored in identity politics entitlement and is always yelling about social justice or crying social justice tears. If you dont fight back, the crybully bullies you. If you fight back, the crybully cries and demands a safe space because you made him feel unsafe. Lions form a pride, crows gather into a murder and crybullies cringe into a crymob. The crymob demands a safe space because free speech...
