Taylor Lorenz is an independent journalist but she is not part of the fringe. She has worked for the New York Times and the Washington Post.
With that in mind, it was disturbing to see her getting positively giddy as she discussed accused murderer Luigi Mangione on CNN and said that she could imagine some women describing him as attractive and ‘a morally good man.’
It’s also amazing that this happened on a CNN show supposedly about political extremism. The host of the program recently said that all of the extremism is coming from the right and that there is no equivalent on the left.
FOX News reported:
Taylor Lorenz’s ‘heinous’ defense of Luigi Mangione as a ‘morally good man’ disgusts X users
Ex-Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz continued her defense of alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer Luigi Mangione in what many viewed as a “beyond vile” segment on CNN Sunday.
Lorenz spoke to “MisinfoNation” host Donie O’Sullivan about Mangione’s appeal to people, particularly for women. Mangione became something of a folk hero to the far-left after he was arrested for the murder of Brian Thompson, with some viewing it as a comeuppance for the greedy insurance industry.
“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,” Lorenz teased in a snippet that was shared on X.
Lorenz, an independent journalist and former Washington Post reporter known for her numerous online controversies, was among those who appeared to sympathize with Thompson’s assailant last year. At one point, she posted, “People wonder why we want these executives dead,” in response to news about Blue Cross Blue Shield no longer covering anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.

People were not impressed.
Taylor Lorenz is genuinely — and I mean this in an absolute clinical sense — sociopathic. Can’t believe she had as long a run as she did in respectable journalism.

Taylor Lorenz laughing about the assassination of an innocent man is the same Taylor Lorenz who just last year was crying about how all the people who go out in public without a mask were trying to kill her.

The more I think about that @donie interview with Taylor Lorenz the more astonished I am that they were laughing when talking about a guy who shot a man in the back in cold blood.
What the hell was @CNN thinking?

Psychotic wench Taylor Lorenz gushes over Luigi Mangione, calls him a “morally good man,” and brags that fan-girling a murderer has led to the biggest audience growth she’s ever had. The CNN “journalist” sits and laughs along. Just an utterly depraved display all around. https://t.co/EJkaZNSGEy

What is wrong with her? Luigi Mangione is accused of killing an innocent man by shooting him in the back. Why do these lefties try to make him out to be a hero?
