CNN and Taylor Lorenz Exposed Their Motivation – The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator

Over the weekend, CNN aired a special edition of The Whole Story With Anderson Cooper, titled “MisinfoNation: Extreme America.” While most of the special unsurprisingly focused on pointing fingers at the Right, they also had a segment on alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer Luigi Mangione.

In the piece on Mangione, host Donie O’Sullivan interviewed former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz, who giggled with glee while talking about the alleged murderer, because she thinks he’s a great person:

Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find.

It should offend anyone with any sense of humanity that this woman was given a platform to fawn over an alleged murderer — but this is CNN, the same network that regularly allows its pundits and guests to push the narrative that Trump is “literally Hitler,” “fascist,” “racist,” “the end of democracy,” etc. It can easily be inferred by their programming that the channel’s executives approve this type of rhetoric — but what it now additionally exposes is the motivation behind their words.

Taylor Lorenz made a name for herself by doxxing anonymous conservative X accounts. She at one point focused on Chaya Raichik when she was simply known as LibsOfTikTok — even showing up to the doors of her relatives.

One might ask why someone of Lorenz’s status as a national reporter for the New York Times or Washington Post would have found this reporting relevant or necessary. After all, at the time, the LibsOfTikTok account would literally pull publicly available clips of crazy leftists from TikTok and repost them on what was then Twitter. Why would she care — why would anyone care who the person behind the video aggregator was? It just doesn’t seem newsworthy — especially not when days and weeks of research and travel would have been needed to hunt down this anonymous person.

But for Lorenz, it was never just about simply doxxing Chaya Raichik.

Earier in her CNN interview, she justified her appreciation for Mangione:

It’s hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their pearls about someone standing a murderer when this is the United States of America, as if we don’t lionize criminals, as if we don’t have, you know, we don’t stand murderers of all sorts, and we give them Netflix shows. There’s a huge disconnect between the narratives and angles of mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels. And you see that in moments like this.

Lorenz loves that Mangione allegedly murdered the United Healthcare CEO. She lit up with joy when discussing it. Her elation over it — and her statement that he was a “morally good man” exposes her motivation behind doxxing anonymous conservatives on social media — she wants certain people with opposing viewpoints dead.

It isn’t a stretch to connect the dots here — a national left-leaning journalist felt it necessary to expose the identity of an anonymous conservative video aggregator who was gaining traction by exposing the far-left’s insanity. That same journalist considers the alleged murderer of a healthcare CEO “revolutionary, famous, handsome, smart, and a morally good man.”

She was doing it all because she can justify murder and violence against those she disagrees with — she wouldn’t necessarily personally do it, but if she could expose the identities of people she doesn’t like and where they live — she’d be OK with, “a morally good man” taking it from there.

CNN not denouncing her actions or this interview implicates their motives as well. After all, it doesn’t seem like that long ago since the network sent reporters to ambush random elderly women at their homes for sharing pro-Trump memes. 

This is the modern Left, especially after Trump first won in 2016 — if they disagree with your opinion, they want you eliminated from society by any means necessary. As the old saying goes — when people show you who they are, believe them.

As much as I and other conservative critics of media and the Left dislike certain people’s opinions and actions, I could never imagine wishing physical harm on them. It’s low, it’s disgusting, and it has no place in American society.
