Many readers will recall that Fox News host Tucker Carlson was on the receiving end of some especially juvenile Mean Girl-style tweeting and “reporting” from supposed “journalists” and media hall monitors back in March 2021 when he had the nerve to call out “technology reporter” Taylor Lorenz, who back then worked for the New York Times, over her trying to have it
both ways on the issue of online harassment of social media users, which apparently is Lorenz’s job.
In response to Carlson laying out inconvenient facts, the Usual Suspects including
the NYT jumped into action at the time by
accusing him of “misogyny” and then trotted out ridiculous “words are violence”
arguments to defend themselves when they, too, were subjected to criticism.
Fast forward a little over a year later, and with Lorenz – who is now at the Washington Post – facing backlash again over
her doxxing of the “Libs of Tik Tok” Twitter account just a few weeks after Lorenz herself did a tear-filled
MSNBC interview where she decried the online harassment she says she’s been subjected to, Carlson understandably had thoughts he wanted
to express about Lorenz, her employer, and the “former Twitter employee” (per Carlson) who the WaPo says helped “expose” the person behind LoTT.
During the lengthy segment, Carlson first highlighted several TikTok clips the LoTT account had shared on their Twitter page in the past as examples of radical left-wing messaging they were trying to warn people about, especially as it related to “woke” educators in public school classrooms who were openly sharing their indoctrination tactics on the popular video platform. Carlson also noted how wildly popular the account, which is run by a private citizen, had become. Because of that, he correctly pointed out that Twitter itself at times had punished LoTT by either suspending or shutting them down before the WaPo took action to try and punish/cancel them for the apparent crime of letting bat-crap crazy activists on the left speak for themselves.
