Truth-challenged Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz has again been called out for another false claim, this time regarding the popular Libs Of TikTok Twitter account and the conservative satirical website the Babylon Bee, both of which are hated by the “woke” political left.
Lorenz, who doxed the owner of Libs of TikTok in a story for her paper in April took to Twitter after the account posted about numerous death threats which have been allowed to proliferate on the social media platform despite its own rules on threatening language, even drawing a response from billionaire Elon Musk who is buying the San Francisco-based tech giant.
Threats against Libs of TikTok have dramatically increased since Lorenz, who operates with impunity thanks to the cowed management team at the once-venerable newspaper, published details on Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the immensely popular account who has done a great service by exposing sexual degenerates who are grooming children in classrooms and at drag queen events and who has been forced to go into hiding out of fear for her safety.
The cruel “crybully” Lorenz mocked Raichik’s concerns that she could be targeted by a radical leftist, a very real possibility after the media’s strident rhetoric pushed a troubled California man to embark on a cross-country journey to assassinate conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Lorenz also dragged Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon into her smear job, claiming that he bankrolled Libs of TikTok’s website where Raichik is out of the reach of the Twitter thought police.
As I reported, The Babylon Bee, which Musk has had close ties to, invested in Libs of TikTok, allowing Chaya Raichik to grow the media company full time. She’s since launched https://t.co/tRPaNcYpN3, which is synched to her Substack. More on Musk/B. Bee: https://t.co/orPula2BlA pic.twitter.com/XX6B9J7hd1

Dillon punched back at the WaPo “crybully” and landed a body blow: “Taylor, you probably should have reached out to me before reporting fake news. The Babylon Bee has never invested in anything (with the exception of the development of a third joke, currently scheduled for release in the summer of 2024).”

“My personal investments are not Babylon Bee investments,” Dillon made clear.

In April, after Lorenz’s doxing, Dillon expressed support for Libs of TikTok, saying that he has “worked out a deal with her that will turn her heroic, high-risk work into a career,” at no point saying that the Babylon Bee was involved in his personal investment.
2/ But I think they'll be surprised by her resolve. She's afraid, as anyone would be in these circumstances, but she's also determined to not be bullied, threatened, or harassed into silence. That takes remarkable courage that few people possess.

3/ I think they’ll also be surprised by the support she receives. I want them to know that she won’t be canceled from her job because this *is* her job now. I’ve worked out a deal with her that will turn her heroic, high-risk work into a career.

Twitter users reacted to Lorenz’s latest lie, one that brings further dishonor to her employer which just fired another leftist problem child, Felicia Sonmez but appears to be terrified to reprimand Lorenz who has been nothing but trouble for WaPo since it hired her away from The New York Times.
Come on, Seth. Taylor always reaches out to people for comment and has never had any kind of problems with this exact thing before. https://t.co/KCN5P7LU23

@TaylorLorenz is circling the drain and grabbing on to anything she can on the way down. The implosion has been spectacular to watch. https://t.co/FkNyDWZAc3

You expected her to actually research an article before submitting it? That would be a first.

Sue her.

Taylor doesn’t bother with facts Seth. It’s so much easier to just write things the way she wants them to be. Honest journalism is dead. It’s all opinions now.

Lorenz’s lie about Dillon and the Babylon Bee comes after her report on YouTube content creators who covered the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial in which she falsely claimed that she reached out to two individuals for comment, both of whom denied it.

Sooner or later, it seems, Lorenz is going to get her employer sued, or somebody killed.
