The Washington Post has been engulfed in controversy after a report written by its star columnist Taylor Lorenz faces scrutiny, something she says is a campaign to discredit her.
Libs of TikTok creator discusses how WaPo reporter Taylor Lorenz published her identity and how it has impacted her and her family’s lives on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’questions continue to swirl around an erroneous reportOn Thursday, the so-called"internet culture" columnist penned a piece about the content creators who benefited from the explosive Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial that concluded this week.
"Last Thursday, an incorrect line was added to a story of mine before publishing due to a miscommunication with an editor. I did not write the line and was not aware it was inserted. I asked for it to be removed right after the story went live," Lorenz began a lengthy Twitter thread on Saturday afternoon."The line was a sentence saying that I reached out to 2 YouTubers for comment for my story. The inclusion of the YouTubers was only in passing, citing another outlet’s reporting.
"This should have been a small correction for a miscommunication, but it turned into a multi-day media cycle, intentionally aimed at discrediting the Washington Post and me," Lorenz claimed."We have a responsibility to recognize these bad faith campaigns for what they are and when these sorts of things do and do not warrant acknowledgment… Bad actors recognize the Washington Post's earnest desire to hear and incorporate feedback, and they exploit that.
A spokesperson for the Washington Post sent Lorenz's Twitter thread to Fox News in response to a previous inquiry, saying"This should largely answer your questions." Except it did not. In fact, many questions remain unanswered. When previously asked if Lorenz or an editor made the stealth edit, the spokesperson replied,"That’s not something we’d discuss on the record." Lorenz did not respond to requests for comment.
Her article cited two YouTube personalities,"LegalBytes" host Alyte Mazeika and an anonymous user named ThatUmbrellaGuy. Included in the paragraph was a parenthetical statement reading,"Mazeika and ThatUmbrellaGuy did not respond to requests for comment." "A previous version of this story inaccurately attributed to Adam Waldman a quote describing how he contacted some Internet influencers. That quote has been removed," the Post wrote."The story has also been amended to note The Post’s attempts to reach Alyte Mazeika and ThatUmbrellaGuy for comment. Previous versions omitted or inaccurately described these attempts."
