Taylor Lorenz is Cretinous and Deranged – by Matt Taibbi

I know Lorenz is a human bug-zapper whose purpose is luring people to doom by drawing them to the glow of the impossibly stupid online utterance, but even by her standards this is nuts. For one thing, Lorenz is a leading advocate for dumbed-all-the-way-down media like her beloved Vine, which featured six-second-max videos. If someone handed her a hardcover book, she d be a serious threat to bite it. Her invoking Flannery O Connor and A Good Man is Hard to Find in the context of Luigi Mangione is high comedy. Regarding America stanning murderers because we give them Netflix shows, which does she mean? Americans may be fascinated by O.J. and Bundy and Phil Spector, but we don t gush cartoon hearts at them over cable, we watch them in lurid docudramas.
