How long can this go on?

Go read the lengthy, multi-pronged Washington Post "corrections" of the Taylor Lorenz story. They don't describe reckless errors the way she's displayed on so many other occasions. They describe outright fraud: deliberate, self-interested lying.

washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

By adding major corrections to her stories, misogynistic Washington Post editors are bullying Taylor Lorenz and inciting violent online harassment against her.

Next on MSNBC, we'll talk to the victimized reporter from her childhood home in Greenwich...

Please read this thread and then remember that a) this behavior is very common for corporate media: they just don't usually get caught and, more importantly, b) these are the people who say the internet must be censored to protect you from disinformation:

Taylor Lorenz got caught red-handed lying in her article. Not just reckless errors - misquoting people, baseless claims about creators' earnings -- but lying by saying she reached out for comment to someone she never contacted.

What will it say if the WP does nothing about this?
