Careercow Taylor Lorenz - Crybully "journalist", self-appointed Internet Hall Monitor, professional victim, stalks teenagers for e-clout

[Gobermental Supervisor]

Why does his sick mother's treatment need to cost as much as two incomes?

Funny how you do not have any argument for why that guy gets to take justice into his own hands after not even trying to get it the right way.
He failed as a son and decided to make up for it by failing as a human in general.

Taylor Lorenz is Cretinous and Deranged​

The former New York Times and Washington Post reporter takes Luigimania to a new level​

Former New York Times and Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz, speaking about accused killer Luigi Mangione on CNN MisinfoNation with Donnie O’Sullivan:

To see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their pearls about someone stanning a murderer when this is the United States of America. As if we don’t lionize criminals… There’s a huge disconnect between the narratives and the angles that mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels… You’re going to see women especially that feel like, ‘Oh my God,’ right? Like, ‘Here’s this man who’s revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who is young, who’s smart.’ He’s a person that seems like this morally good man, which is hard to find.

I know Lorenz is a human bug-zapper whose purpose is luring people to doom by drawing them to the glow of the impossibly stupid online utterance, but even by her standards this is nuts. For one thing, Lorenz is a leading advocate for dumbed-all-the-way-down media like her “beloved” Vine, which featured six-second-max videos. If someone handed her a hardcover book, she’d be a serious threat to bite it. Her invoking Flannery O’Connor and A Good Man is Hard to Find in the context of Luigi Mangione is high comedy. Regarding America “stanning” murderers because “we give them Netflix shows,” which does she mean? Americans may be fascinated by O.J. and Bundy and Phil Spector, but we don’t gush cartoon hearts at them over cable, we watch them in lurid docudramas.

In reply to co-host Walter Kirn’s deserved ribbing about the MisinfoNation being “the least organic interview in history,” Lorenz charged him with being one of those “weird men who have these outrage meltdowns when I try to talk about extremism online.” Doesn’t she mean “endorsing” extremism in this case? As for “weird,” let’s recap:


When I first read Lorenz I thought she was CIA performance art, a Langley-designed version of a Tony Clifton act designed to collect the names of the 907% of readers who’d recoil in revulsion. In a 2021 Times piece called To Fight Vaccine Lies, Authorities Recruit an ‘Influencer Army,’ Lorenz described a White House effort to use TikTok influencers like Ellie Zeiler to get 12-18-year-olds to get the shot:

Ms. Zeiler quickly agreed, joining a broad, personality-driven campaign to confront an increasingly urgent challenge in the fight against the pandemic: vaccinating the youthful masses, who have the lowest inoculation rates of any eligible age group in the United States.

Writers made of lesser stuff might be troubled by questions like “Do 12-year-olds need this vaccine?” Months later, fellow Times writer David Leonhardt wrote that “for children without a serious medical condition, the danger of severe Covid is so low as to be difficult to quantify.” Others might wonder about the ethics of government end-running parents and “news” by using online jewelry and dress merchants to hype vaccines to kids. I remember finding impressive the breezy unconcern Lorenz showed for such questions.

Most interesting was the happy ending to the piece, in which influencer Christina Najjar a.k.a. “Tinx” interviewed Anthony Fauci. Questions ranged from whether or not it was safe to try to get pregnant with Harry Styles after the vax to how old Fauci thought Najjar looked:


Stories like this are what make the recent Lorenz transformation into a spokesperson for popular rage against “barbaric establishment institutions” a tough one to swallow without laughs. For years, Lorenz was a one-person global surveillance operation, hunting unorthodoxy in every corner of the Internet and investigating the dangers of “unfettered conversations” on sites like Clubhouse, where the level of freedom was such that one user “discouraged people from getting the shots.” Lurking, she heard billionaire Marc Andreessen, or so she thought, wantonly using the word “retard” while no one stopped him:



It turned out not to be Andreessen and Lorenz had to agree the issue had been “clarified” for her, which naturally resulted in a lot of chuckling in media. Glenn Greenwald described her as a “deeply unwell Swiss-boarding-school-educated neurotic who is paid by the New York Times to lurk outside teenagers’ TikTok houses.” Tucker Carlson meanwhile said she was “at the top of journalism’s repulsive little food chain.” After tweeting that the abuse she’d had to suffer had “destroyed her life,” she was the beneficiary of a whole academic study devoted to tracking the abuse she suffered after the Carlson-Greenwald meanness (I don’t remember a school offering to provide any of my friends with similar services), then went on MSNBC to discuss the results. One clip went viral:


Lorenz was mocked anew for this performance, becoming the prize subject of a wide range of Internet meme artists (the AI version of Joe Biden as crying Lorenz was disturbing). Naturally, she blamed the right people for the development: MSNBC.

Lorenz claimed the network and host Morgan Radford (the one trying desperately to be sympathetic in the video) for throwing her “under the bus,” adding, “If your segment or story on ‘online harassment’ leads to even worse online harassment for your subjects, you fucked up royally and should learn how to cover these things properly.”

This wouldn’t be relevant, except as prelude to Mangione. Pre-Luigi, Lorenz had perhaps the world’s most stringent definition of harm, identifying private use of the “r-slur,” being described as a “Swiss-boarding-school-neurotic,” and an MSNBC host failing to aggressively edit out her own embarrassing interview comments as life-imperiling behavior.

She went from the New York Times to the Washington Post to (ironically) Substack. After the Mangione murder on December 4th last year, Lorenz became Luigi’s version of Bundini Brown, telling Piers Morgan she “felt, along with so many other Americans, joy” after the murder of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson (she denies the murder is what was what caused the “joy”; be your own judge).

Her Substack for a while was a Luigi fan page, which makes sense now that we know that “I saw the biggest audience growth that I’ve ever seen” with Mangione text. With article titles like “The merchification of Luigi,” “Inside the CEO shooter standom,” and my personal favorite, “Why ‘we’ want insurance executives dead,” Lorenz practically lashed her business to Mangione’s public image. Overnight, we went from living in a world where calling someone an untalented Swiss-boarding-school dipshit is unconscionable PTSD-inducing unfairness, to one where shooting an insurance executive in the back is cause for giddy celebration and smiles.

When the Thompson/Mangione affair happened I laughed at the idea that there would be a counter-massaging campaign framing Mangione’s half-cocked Unabomber imitation (with its mailed-in, tweet-length manifesto) as an improvement on Trump-style underclass rage. Now, Mangione as press darling is definitely a phenomenon, and not just in publications like People and US Weekly (wildest headline: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Is Not Jealous of Luigi Mangione: ‘There Is No Truth to It’). Ken Klippenstein responded to news of federal efforts to seek death penalty charges by writing that “Luigi Mangione Becomes a Political Prisoner,” while the New Yorker before the New Year ran a piece comparing Luigi to Walter White of Breaking Bad and other “man of the people” American outlaw archetypes.

Mangione the rich sociopath is the opposite of that archetype, far more Leopold and Loeb than Bonnie and Clyde, and it’s telling that there are people who think this can have mass appeal. It’s one of the dumbest ideas of era, but who better than Lorenz to sell it?

he did not fail in killing the CEO and making me and many others normally on opposing sides happy about it. Imagine simping for the CEO of united health care on KF. I'm glad taylor lorenz likes him and i hope many others i don't like also like him.

I do not care about him, I care about the basic building blocks of a functioning civilized society.
The guy who got killed is irrelevant, what the act represents is what matters and it should and has to end with Luigi getting sentenced to death for a premeditated murder and domestic terrorism.

That United Health Care should be dismantled and every person who earned money from the systematic withholding of treatment or inflating or treatment prices should be charged with murder for every death they caused by running that system is an entirely different mater that can never excuse what he did as a matter of principle.

Two wrong do not make a right, no matter how loud ANTIFA faggots screech in the streets.

Matt Walsh called Taylor a "psychotic wench" and "crazy demon" for gushing about Luigi (9K+ likes) ... and so today she is trending on X along with Luigi.

Its kind of romantic.

Comments about her godawful fucking face and somehow even worse personality aside, the fundamental thing that makes Taylor almost unnerving as a cow even if she aint close to Horrorcow is how blatant it is that she just does not get how to act like a human.

I mean take the frame I just posted, this is an interview about a random guy who killed someone in cold blood whom she is trying to spin as a sexy revolutionary symbol and she is giggling like a defective animatronic. The infamous MSNBC "sobbing breakdown" clip shows her physically undergo some weirdass mental body language script in which she cant keep the bizarre smile off her face despite her over performed weeping.

She latches on to random social media fads with absolute fucking insane fanaticism on a whim and keeps escalating shit like the coof obsession/muh anonymous no-no word users/muh stochastic terrorism past the point of absurdity despite casually contradicting this shit at the drop of a hat in a way that makes it clear she does not even slightly give an actual shit about it, and she will do this solely because it gives her the pretext to try and destroy people for her own amusement or gratification, and with full media and institutional backing and protection. Moreover no matter how fanatical she acts, how insanely tryhard extreme her aped rhetoric becomes, she will never show any sign of anger or outrage or sadness. She will keep giggling and smiling while chatting about how ten thousand gazan babies are being raped to death every day or how billions die in agony every year because of people not wearing masks the same as she would when she babbles about the latest consoomer shit she heard is popular among TikTok kids. Furthermore she will gleefully and straight up literally party it up with people she spends months/years declaring to be neo nazi rape lovers who personally target her for terrifying cyberviolence without the slightest hesitation, and then instantly go back to talking about how they are morally worse than the guards at Auschwitz the next morning.

Hell speaking of media and institutions, while we know little of what went on behind the scenes in media land beyond guessing as to how many backchannels and how much nepotism she used to get in and get ahead, the fact she spent years as a universally detested embarrassment and overtly unstable liability to WaPo in the eyes of the right, centre, and even the fucking leftists beyond the revolutionary LARP retards, all while bringing jack shit of worth to the table and despite so many others being actively shitcanned for less on the regular, coupled with how once she was eventually fired there was effectively zero solidarity or sympathy from her former colleagues despite how long she had managed to maintain her place among them, both make me strongly suspect her colleagues were at best extremely wary of her and at worst actively terrified she would say shit to whatever member of management she was blowing/blackmailing in order to get them fired.

Honestly of all the cows who have semi active threads these days, Taylor is the only one I actively check up on from time to time whom I actually think might be a straight up psychopath, even if a rather stupid one given just how many opportunities she burnt to shit solely for five seconds of trying and failing to be fashionably edgy for Hasan Piker asspatters.

The ironic and funny thing about her hybristophilia about Luigi is if killing groups of people for fucking up society ever becomes a really popular thing, journalists will be WAY near the top of that list.

 

[Judge Holden]

The ironic and funny thing about her hybristophilia about Luigi is if killing groups of people for fucking up society ever becomes a really popular thing, journalists will be WAY near the top of that list.

She has zero notion of long term planning or goals beyond instant personal gratification and amusement at the existential and (more recently) straight up terminal expense of others, no matter how badly this shit torches her professionally and socially going forward.

If journalists started being killed en masse by enraged mobs today, she would be openly giggling on her blog by sundown about how they all deserve it for not triple masking in 2025/for not killing their nearest jew zionist/not forcing their kid to transition in the name of queer equity or for not sufficiently supporting whatever the fuck the next fad among the tryhard leftist fringe might be, and when she heard a very heavy knock on her door she would not even hesitate to waddle over to open it as she idly considers if it might be fun to accuse the guy delivering her avocado toast of being a trump supporting neo nazi and spamming his name and her ring camera footage of his face on social media.

Why does his sick mother's treatment need to cost as much as two incomes? Why do you then need retainer money on top of that? Why must there be a court case to get some lady a brain surgeon in a country with moe brin surgenos than anywhere else in the world? This is the system you yourself keep calling "broken". Instead of spending hundreds of thousands on trying to fix up an ancient car that's beyond help, he went to buy a new one.

The alternative is Socialist where you're put on a list until you die. If you can't pay for your medication or treatment why should a tax payer pay for you? My money should go towards me, not some stranger that's stealing from me and my family. Universal healthcare is theft, just as any other tax is. As someone who would have died under such bullshit I'll take pay for private care over it any day of the week. Least I know I'll live.

People get shot because someone dislikes them every day in the USA. That CEO was shot as a last resort. His death is not the same as the deaths of children in school shootings. A nice young man reminded you all that you have the right and ability to water the tree of liberty and grow some reformed healthcare fruit at any time, but you're all so afraid of even the most miniscule risk or consequence. I hear every day that there's literally nothing anyone anywhere in the USA can do to change healthcare prices, regulations, safety, etc. Well, here's the one thing left that might make them listen - actual revolution. I get it though. You're a temporarily embarassed millionaire who needs to plan for the future when you're a famous CEO of a Fortune 500 company. But I don't understand what all those guns are for if you're not going to use them on men who are intentionally killing american citizens on a daily basis for no reason other than personal profit.

all you people who think killing a CEO of an insurance company will change a goddamn thing about how fucked the US healthcare system is: You're all fuckwits.

I think her age might be catching up with her that's all. The person who posted a bit ago about her former fiance being the best she's going to catch was right. She's getting to the age where she's only going to snag divorcees +/- kids.

Also not surprised that she admits someone who executed a CEO with a shot to the back of the head is a "catch"

i am glad it happened and i hope it happens more. Fuck the CEO and fuck you.

you realize Taylor is not going to bang you right?
