Blogger Taylor Lorenz has left the Washington Post several weeks after she posted an Instagram story that showed her attending a Joe Biden speech at the White House with the caption “war criminal :(.”
Lorenz’s departure is being billed as her opportunity to become an internet “content creator” more than a traditional news reporter. She is starting a Substack called “User Magazine,” where she says she will discuss social media from a user perspective.
Lorenz is a 40+-year-old New Yorker who often attempts to ingratiate herself within the culture of much younger, often sub-20-year-olds online. She gained notoriety by doxxing the Libs of TikTok account, which made fun of far-left activists by using their own clips on social media.
Lorenz claims to have post-traumatic stress disorder from online “harassment” and continues to wear a COVID-era face mask, often outdoors.
Before her tenure at the Post, Lorenz covered internet culture for the New York Times and the far-left Daily Beast. She also hosts a podcast called Power User for Vox Media.
