WaPo’s Taylor Lorenz Accuses MSNBC Reporter of Throwing Her ‘Under the Bus’ and Sparking ‘Months of Abuse’

An 📺MSNBC reporter is being accused of sparking “months of abuse” stemming from an interview that aired on the network.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Taylor Lorenz, a technology columnist for 📰The Washington Post, shredded 📺MSNBC reporter Morgan Radford over a viral interview in which she broke down in tears.

“No bigger regret in my career than making the mistake of thinking knew how to accurately report on abuse/ harassment,” Lorenz wrote. “Her complete mishandling of the story has led to immense fallout and months of abuse. I cannot warn women loudly enough to stay away from her/📺MSNBC.”

She went on, “Never did I think a fellow woman journalist would throw a colleague under the bus, especially one that purports to advocate for marginalized communities. It’s a reminder that cable news will always, above all else, exploit people for cheap views. They fundamentally do not care.”

The columnist shared that she argued that no one should trust “anyone in the media to tell your story or report on harassment accurately, especially TV news people. They do not care about or getting it right.”

“I’m so grateful to the I’ve been able to work w/ to educate people on issues of online harassment abuse. We need to change how the media tells these stories and force newsrooms to take this stuff seriously. It’s been almost a decade since gamergate, we can do better,” she added.
