Bari Weiss has been one of the journalists revealing the efforts by Twitter under its previous ownership to censor and silence patriots.
Is anti-Semitism a prerequisite for working for one of the primary establishment media outlets? No, but it helps.
“Taylor Lorenz Lashes Out at Younger, More Successful Journalist in Cruel Anti-Semitic Tirade,” by Andrew Stiles, Washington Free Beacon, December 15, 2022:
Taylor Lorenz, a semi-prominent China apologist and internet reporter at the failing Washington Post, on Tuesday lashed out at a fellow journalist in a Twitter tirade many people are calling anti-Semitic.
The target: Bari Weiss, the successful Substack writer and friend of the Washington Free Beacon. Lorenz reacted poorly to an Axios article about Weiss’s new media company, the Free Press, and decided to vent her rage on the immigrant-owned social networking website.
“Notable what gets framed as a ‘buzzy media startup,'” Lorenz seethed. “If u start off rich, have a rich spouse, rich friends, don’t follow any journalistic ethical rules, and focus your content solely on serving the interests of extremely powerful rich ppl, you can go far!”
A number of Twitter users observed that Lorenz’s rant was rife with projection and petty jealousy. Weiss is younger*, better looking, and more successful as a journalist and as a human being. Why wouldn’t Lorenz be jealous? But that was hardly the most scandalous aspect of the so-called reporter’s public tantrum. Weiss also happens to be Jewish, and Lorenz’s tweet was a textbook example of an anti-Semitic trope about how all Jews are rich and powerful, conniving, and immoral.
Lorenz has a history of targeted harassment against Jews. Earlier this year, for example, she publicly identified—or “doxxed”—the anonymous woman behind the popular Twitter account “Libs of TikTok.” Doxxing is an explicit endorsement of physical violence. The woman who operates the account is Jewish. Lorenz also attempted to ruin the lives of four Instagram influencers by revealing their true identities. They are the daughters of a prominent Jewish political activist. Coincidence?…

Methinks Musk should have kept his ban on the doxxing journalists alive indefinitely, instead of throwing out a poll and reversing the ban just b’cos that’s how the majority voted. But I like his new rule about journalists no longer being above the Twitter law

I’m sure that there are people who would feel the type of bitterness and jealousy that this woman has, but they have the self control to hide such viciousness. Her lack of self control is amazing. Surely even people who actually like her would start to dislike her for her pathetic public jealousy and bitterness. And she supports China!!! How anyone can do that, support that vicious regime, is beyond me. I was just thinking that the lack of self control by this woman is a bit like the incident at the Academy Awards where the buffoon, Will Smith, displayed the self control of a 7 year old and dashed up on the stage and slapped the comedian. Similarly, this woman displays a complete lack of maturity and self control.

An American guy told me a while back that ALL the main Bankers in the entire World are Jewish, so jokingly I replied that I heard they were all Communists, to which he replied, yeah that also, so I asked him if they were Communist Bankers or Bankers who were Communists.
He reply was to ask me if I was a Trump supporter… You cannot fix that kind of stupid.
