MSNBC Enables Smear Campaign Against Journalist Taylor Lorenz

"Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz blasted MSNBC on Sunday over a segment on online harassment – which she says led to more harassment against her.

“If your segment or story on ‘online harassment’ leads to even worse online harassment for your subjects, you f***** up royally and should learn how to cover these things properly before ever talking about them again,” she tweeted on Sunday.

Lorenz continued, “I could teach an entire class on this stuff, but the simple fact is that very few people in power in newsrooms actually understand how the modern internet and online landscape works, and so they continually give ammo to bad actors.”

MTP Daily did a segment on Friday about a study conducted by New York University’s Center for Social Media and Politics that showed that online vitriol against Lorenz spiked 144 percent after journalist Glenn Greenwald criticized her.

Lorenz shared a threat she got online: “Hey, nice job on that story, you soulless effing [censored word].” She also shared online users sharing photos of her family members."
