Taylor Lorenz is a star reporter with the most influential newspaper in the US, arguably the west. Her work regularly appears on its front page.
Her attempt to claim this level of victimhood is revolting: she should try to find out what real persecution of journalists entails.

If you're going to insinuate yourself into polarizing political debates and report (or pretend to "report") on the powerful, you'll be "attacked" online. It can be extra toxic due to race, gender, sexual orientation, etc but it's still just online insults. That's not persecution.
With all the suffering and deprivation and real persecution in the world, it is utterly astonishing how often coddled, well-paid, highly privileged, coiffed, insulated, protected US elites posture as the world's most oppressed class. It's quite sickening and offensive.
If you want to read about what actual persecution looks like, go check out what the US and UK Governments are doing to Julian Assange, to start with. I can't imagine how much he'd love to trade that for mean tweets about him online.
