Blogger Taylor Lorenz has left the Washington Post several weeks after she posted an Instagram story that showed her attending a Joe Biden speech at the White House with the caption “war criminal :(.”Lorenz’s departure is being billed as her opportunity to become an internet “content creator” more than a traditional news reporter. She is starting a Substack called “User Magazine,” where she says she will discuss social media from a user perspective. Lorenz is a 40+-year-old New Yorker who often attempts to ingratiate herself within the culture of much younger, often sub-20-year-olds online. She gained notoriety by doxxing the...

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...

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok · 21h Taylor Lorenz says Elon Musk goes out of his to f*** with her and interfere with her life. Literally what?? - - Elon Musk @elonmusk Never heard of her

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,...

Professional kvetchmeister Taylor Lorenz of the Washington Post is once again whining about any hint of the social-media giants moving away from censorship or aggressively recommending "mainstream" media reports with a leftist agenda.In this case, Taylor and her Post colleague Naomi Nix are over the news that Meta (which everyone still calls Facebook) has decided to stop proactively recommending political content on Instagram or their Twitter-knockoff called Threads. Most people would greet the news that Meta is not shoving its biases down people's throats via recommendations to be a good thing. But not Taylor Lorenz as you can see in...

Is The Washington Post in full-scale collapse? A recent look at the numbers provides a fairly convincing answer to that question. According to the report, not only is the Post losing $100 million a year, but it lost over half of its online engagement by the end of 2023. The signs were already there by mid-year, and the worst has come to pass. See: The Washington Post Is Facing a Financial Buzzsaw“Of that audience, less than one in five read more than a single article per month, while less than one in 500 actually convert to a paying subscription.”— Josh...

Washington Post crybaby and COVID advocate Taylor Lorenz is skipping her fourth Christmas because of "selfish people" who refuse to wear masks against a non-life threatening virus. Lorenz has labeled herself "disabled" due to an "illness" that puts her at a higher risk of contracting COVID. However, I think her "illness" is more along the lines of a radical Leftist disease that clouds her common sense abilities. She also claims she has "PTSD" from online "harassment." "Literally, what is the plan for high-risk/medically vulnerable and disabled people? Just let us die while the world marches on??" Lorenz wrote in an...

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...

A defamation case against the New York Times and one of its former journalists is moving to discovery after a judge rejected the paper’s bid to have the litigation dismissed. Though most of the complaint was thrown out, businesswoman Ariadna Jacob provided sufficient evidence to survive the motion to dismiss regarding a statement that claimed she had leaked nude photographs, U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos ruled. Taylor Lorenz penned an article in 2020 that, citing an internet influencer, alleged Jacob leaked naked photographs of the influencer. “Right before we parted ways she leaked my nudes and sent them to business...

The Washington Post’s in-house cry-bully Taylor Lorenz made a hysterical attempt to blame capitalism and climate change for child depression. The Post columnist tried to wokescold the Twitterverse with her theory on the supposed true cause behind child depression. “People are like ‘why are kids so depressed it must be their PHONES!’ But never mention the fact that we’re living in a late stage capitalist hellscape during an ongoing deadly pandemic w record wealth inequality, 0 social safety net/job security, as climate change cooks the world,” she said. Lorenz lectured that “u have to be delusional to look at life...

Libs of Tik Tok’s Chaya Raichik has been through it. Thanks to the doxxing efforts of the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz, Raichik found herself — as well as members of her family — the target of would-be violence and, even more terrifying, death threats. For diligently working to shine a light on disturbing woke liberal behaviors like sexual grooming and sexualization of children, Raichik has had to sleep with one eye open. But apparently there’s a silver lining to what she’s had to deal with, and it’s thanks to Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis. On “Tucker Carlson Today,” Raichik told...

Yesterday, Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the vital @LibsofTikTok account, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox Nation show, where she discussed the work that she does to expose radical LGBTQ activists and, in particular, their targeting of children. Well, let the record show that Alejandra Caraballo, online safety expert and clinical instructor at the Harvard Law Cyberlaw Clinic, was absolutely disgusted with what transpired during Carlson’s interview with Raichik. According to Caraballo, it was one of the most bigoted interviews she’s ever heard in her life: Chaya Raichik went on Tucker Carlson and said the "LGBTQ community has become this cult…...

VIDEOOf all the things to get over the top emotional over, the Twitter suspension of the notorious doxinator Taylor Lorenz should be towards the bottom of the list. However, that is exactly what Agenda Free TV's Steve Lookner did when he bizarrely went full Howard Beale over this as you can see.

Controversial Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz has slammed her own newspaper's reporting on China and its opposition of Covid lockdowns in the country. On Saturday, the Post tweeted an article about China's record number of coronavirus cases, noting how only a tiny proportion its billion-strong population are vaccinated. 'A coronavirus outbreak on the verge of being China's biggest of the pandemic has exposed a critical flaw in Beijing's 'zero covid' strategy: a vast population without natural immunity,' the post said.

An emboldened cast of anonymous trolls spewed racist slurs and Nazi memes onto Twitter in the hours after billionaire industrialist Elon Musk took over the social network Thursday, raising fears of how his pledge of unrestricted free speech could fuel a new wave of online hate. Twitter has struggled to enforce its rules against harassment and extremism, and the company has not yet published any broad-scale changes to its content-moderation policies. But Musk, a self-described "free speech absolutist," has fiercely criticized the company's previous leaders as overly rigid and suppressive and said he would work to overturn some of the...

An emboldened cast of anonymous trolls spewed racist slurs and Nazi memes onto Twitter in the hours after billionaire industrialist Elon Musk took over the social network, raising fears that his pledge of unrestricted free speech could fuel a new wave of online hate. The flood of racist posts was among the most prominent signs of how Twitter had changed in the first hours of Musk’s ownership. But those who were expecting even bigger changes, such as the restoration of former president Donald Trump’s account and the layoff of hundreds if not thousands of Twitter employees, will have to wait...

The same petulant Washington Post columnist who became notorious for doxxing the user behind the Libs of TikTok Twitter account and misrepresenting her dealings with two YouTube content creators is back whining about “harassment” on social media. The Post’s in-house crybully columnist Taylor Lorenz released a new victim piece with a headline that reeked of hypocrisy: “YouTube remains rife with misogyny and harassment, creators say.” Lorenz wielded a YouTube-focused book by Bloomberg technology reporter Mark Bergen to claim “[W]omen creators” were “dealing with vicious harassment, bullying, and stalking,” channeling similar language she used to whine that MSNBC didn’t correctly address...

The Washington Post was caught stealth-editing a dishonest attack-the-right story by its in-house cry-bully Taylor Lorenz, yet the publication still enjoys a perfect score by leftist news ratings firm NewsGuard. NewsGuard currently rates The Post with a stellar “100/100” score, and claims the leftist paper “adheres to all nine of NewsGuard’s standards on credibility and transparency.” The score hasn’t budged since news broke that Lorenz falsely claimed she contacted two YouTube content creators (ThatUmbrellaGuy and LegalBytes) for comment in a smear piece smacking them for making money from their YouTube coverage of the infamous court trial between actor Johnny Depp...

On the morning of April 27, the Department of Homeland Security announced the creation of the first Disinformation Governance Board with the stated goal to "coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security." The Biden administration tapped Nina Jankowicz, a well-known figure in the field of fighting disinformation and extremism, as the board's executive director.In naming the 33-year-old Jankowicz to run the newly created board, the administration chose someone with extensive experience in field of disinformation, which has emerged as an urgent and important issue. The author of the books "How to Be a Woman Online" and "How to Lose the...

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...
