In a shocking display on CNN, independent journalist Taylor Lorenz, who has previously worked with prominent outlets like the New York Times and Washington Post, appeared to be enthralled by the infamous Luigi Mangione, accused of murder. During a segment meant to address political extremism, Lorenz remarked on Mangione’s alleged attractiveness and even described him as a “morally good man.”
This unsettling commentary occurred on a show that recently claimed all political extremism stems from the right, ignoring any left-wing extremism. Such bias is unfortunately not uncommon in mainstream media today, a point accentuated by a recent report by FOX News.

During her appearance with “MisinfoNation” host Donie O’Sullivan, Lorenz spoke about Mangione’s supposed irresistible appeal, especially to women. Mangione, who became a far-left figure after his arrest for the murder of Brian Thompson, was bizarrely portrayed as a revolutionary figure by Lorenz, despite the grave accusations against him.
“Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find,” Lorenz stated, a clip of which was later shared on social media.

Public reaction has been fierce, as evidenced by the backlash on social media:
Taylor Lorenz is genuinely — and I mean this in an absolute clinical sense — sociopathic. Can’t believe she had as long a run as she did in respectable journalism.

Taylor Lorenz laughing about the assassination of an innocent man is the same Taylor Lorenz who just last year was crying about how all the people who go out in public without a mask were trying to kill her.

The more I think about that @donie interview with Taylor Lorenz the more astonished I am that they were laughing when talking about a guy who shot a man in the back in cold blood. What the hell was @CNN thinking?

Psychotic wench Taylor Lorenz gushes over Luigi Mangione, calls him a “morally good man,” and brags that fan-girling a murderer has led to the biggest audience growth she’s ever had. The CNN “journalist” sits and laughs along. Just an utterly depraved display all around.

What is going on with this bizarre narrative? Luigi Mangione is accused of murdering an innocent man by shooting him in the back. One has to ask why some on the left are attempting to cast him as a hero, despite the serious allegations he faces.
