Washington Post Investigates Taylor Lorenz's Instagram Story Calling Joe Biden 'War Criminal'
Aug 16, 2024, 10:34 AM
The Washington Post is conducting an investigation into its tech columnist, Taylor Lorenz, following allegations that she labeled President Joe Biden a 'war criminal' in a private Instagram story shared with her close friends, not her wider audience of 143,000 followers. The post, reportedly taken at a White House event, was initially claimed by Lorenz to be digitally altered. However, NPR confirmed the authenticity of the screenshot with four independent sources. Lorenz has since argued that the post was intended as a joke referencing a social media meme. The incident has sparked significant attention, with discussions about potential consequences for Lorenz's position at the Washington Post. Lorenz has reportedly deleted the post.
