Former New York Times journo Taylor Lorenz, who made a living for herself smearing people for old tweets they made when they were 16, now claims she has “severe PTSD” due to online harassment (aka criticism of her “journalism”).

As Glenn Greenwald highlighted last year, Lorenz was the worst type of “journalist” on the planet:
One is tempted to laugh but there's ultimately nothing funny about what @TaylorLorenz does in ruining people's lives. She is whining that others weaponize her past against her. Here she used benign tweets to destroy a 20-year-old YouTuber that he posted when he was 16! Just look: pic.twitter.com/ydV4Vh7qsh

What Taylor Lorenz does to people on the front page of the world's most powerful newspaper, and then the way she turns herself into the victim over the life-destroying weapons she deploys against people, is just unreal. Just look at this:https://t.co/3N2nHjNKLG pic.twitter.com/XuVsOI1Lhe

Look at how NBC and @ChuckTodd — with this insanely manipulative 5-minute segment — claim if you criticize major journalists, you're responsible for the hatred they get from randoms. Meanwhile, they take zero a responsibility for what they stimulate against their "targets": pic.twitter.com/iDgWFgEwRt

“Do you see what corporate journalists are doing, how sick and corrupted they are?” Greenwald said. “They want a framework where they have the right to attack and malign anyone they want using their huge corporate megaphone. But if you criticize them, it’s ‘harassment.’ “

Taylor Lorenz regularly ruins people's lives: teenagers! She investigates and exposes them. She uses her corporate platform to attack journalists. But then she goes on MSNBC to weep for @ChuckTodd on how unfair it is she's criticized. How does anyone not see the insanity of this?

These journos are beyond parody!
