The New York Times is defending reporter Taylor Lorenz after Fux Noise wanker Tucker Carlson mocked her during a lengthy segment in a Tuesday night broadcast.
Carlson said Lorenz, a tech and internet culture reporter, was at the top of journalisms repulsive little food chain and that she is far younger and much less talented than other prominent New York Times reporters in a segment discussing powerful people claiming to be powerless.
Youd think Taylor Lorenz would be grateful for the remarkable good luck that shes had. But no, shes not, Carlson said. He then read a tweet from Lorenz, posted on International Womens Day, saying how online harassment and smear campaigns have destroyed her life.

Destroyed her life, really? By most peoples standards, Taylor Lorenz would seem to have a pretty good life, one of the best lives in the country, in fact. Lots of people are suffering right now, but no one is suffering quite as much as Taylor Lorenz is suffering, he continued.
On Wednesday, the New York Times released a statement defending Lorenz and calling Carlsons comments calculated and cruel.

"As The Lady and the Dale conveys through TV clips and candid new chats with the reporter, Carlson became fixated on Liz, doing 20+ pieces on her during which he not only uncovered her business shadiness, but went out of his way to condescendingly refer to her with male pronouns, and to suggest that she was a guy pretending to be the opposite gender in order to disguise her fugitive identity and to garner publicity. Lizs brother Charles still appears rightly disgusted by this, and to further underline Carlsons anti-trans noxiousness, Cammilleri and Druckers series touches upon the reporters notorious 1976 outing of trans tennis player Renée Richards, which thrust her into the media spotlight and complicated her efforts to turn pro. Even today, Carlson seems unrepentant, going so far as to say that if Lizs behavior is normal, then so too is Jeffrey Dahmers."

they have to have a constant drumbeat of denigration or their audience of simpletons will forget to hate liberals.

Instead, he's full of hate and contempt for, apparently, pretty much everyone.
This man could use his inherited riches to make the world better. Or he could simply live a happy life of luxury. But no. He has chosen to make his mission in life spreading hate.
What a loser.
