Taylor Lorenz is a Disgusting Human Being Who Looks Like She Only Wears Sweatpants

Insurance executives are bad but at least they aren't social media "reporters"

The brutal murder of a United Healthcare executive on the streets of Manhattan, apparently motivated by an assassin who saw it as some statement about health insurance choices that executive has nothing to do with, brought out the worst aspects of one of the worst people in media (if you can call it that): Taylor Lorenz, cheering on the death of the nondescript CEO in question and urging people to target his peers. Lorenz, whose age remains a mystery and who possesses the personality and fashion sense of a dusty New Balance shoe (size: 11), was until recently an employee at The Washington Post and previously at The New York Times. That she would so quickly rush to celebrate the shooting death of someone she’d never heard of, laughing online about a cold-blooded murder, should indicate to you the degree to which these media entities employ some of the worst people alive. They’re evil like it’s their job. Lorenz is a monstrous figure in the world of social media, a clownish harpy and dedicated ruiner of lives who complains and melts down when you’re out there “raw dogging the air”, which I have to admit is the coolest description of “breathing normally” I’ve ever heard. One wonders what her preferred penalty is for not stapling an N95 to your face. Thankfully to find that out you’d have to follow her on Blew-skee.

The chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, was murdered at 6:46 a.m. outside a hotel in midtown Manhattan. Video captures a masked assassin calmly shooting the executive before escaping via bicycle. Thinking of a Free Press angle on this afterward, as I do, I concluded that there is none. People will certainly react to this straightforwardly bad thing in a normal fashion, and it’ll be interesting to find out what happened. Well, how wrong I was.

As news of the assassination broke, former star New York Times reporter and then Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz posted about how bad health insurance companies are, adding:

She posted about how all her group chats were celebrating, texting cartoon stars with the words CEO DOWN. Taylor was gleeful. She posted an idea for the next hit:

Taylor Lorenz was a major business reporter at the NYT. I was her colleague there, and to put it mildly, she wasn’t a fan of mine. I never quite knew what to do about Tay-Tay and her crew of nutjobs (sorry, reporters), and eventually I began to see her as a kind of high camp character. Many times I have thought: I would pay money to watch a reality show about her life. I wish I cared half as much about anything as she does about keeping that N95 strapped high and tight. (This week she described breathing without a mask as “raw dogging the air.” Which is objectively hilarious.)

Anyway, now I know she would quite literally celebrate my death. I don’t deny people’s coverage, but you bet I had that mask off as soon as the vaccine hit my bloodstream. And if you’re reading this, then she’d probably celebrate your death too, sorry. And yet, I’d still pay money to watch a reality show about her. Tay-Tay eventually killing someone (me?! Aetna VP?) would make it all the better…

I do not celebrate the death of random executives. I do not hope they live in fear of unexpected punishment. That’s how we at The Free Press differentiate ourselves. That’s called being a radical moderate. My Nikki Haley voters, my Haley Hive, stingers up! We think everyone in the C-suite should keep their lives. The only time I’ve seen art in the last decade is in a corporate lobby, and I’m content with that.

But we also aren’t afraid to say the hard truths. And as with the Houthis and the Cop City antifa, this terrorist is unfortunately very hot. Just like the best bakeries are run by communists, the best terrorists are hotties (I’m looking at you, Young Stalin).​​

Why was his mask pulled down? He was doing everything so carefully until then. Well, per CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, law enforcement spoke to a female employee at the hostel where he was staying and she admitted that “at one point, she asked the then-masked man to lower his mask while flirting with him, which is when this photo released by NYPD today was taken.” Man, felled by his own sex drive.
