“You’re going to see women especially that feel like, Oh my God, right? Like, here’s this man who’s revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who is young, who’s smart. He’s a person that seems like this morally good man, which is hard to find.”
—–The infamous Ethics Villain Taylor Lorenz, on CNN yesterday, saying (again) how admirable cold-blooded murderer Luigi Mangione is for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by shooting him in the back.
Ethics Alarms has paid little attention to the unethical rantings of Lorenz, who was fired from the New York Times for publishing slanderous material, hired by the Washington Pots (which has no ethical standards), and now is on her own. The Times once described her as a “talented journalist,” which also tells you all you need to know about The Times. I have put Lorenz in the same metaphorical isolation cell with perpetually unethical pundits like Elie Mystal, Jot Reid and Jimmy Kimmel, “Julie Principle” cases so obviously devoid of decency that 1) they aren’t worth criticizing and 2) they serve as useful markers of a friend’s lack of standards: if he or she can listen to or read what these awful people spew into public discourse without thinking, “Wow, what a lunatic!” said friend is beyond ethics rehab efforts.
Lionizing a murderer, however crosses into unethical territory where attention should be paid. Worse, Lorenz calls this preening sociopath “moral,” which is an insult to all moral human beings from the beginning of time. She also insults all men by asserting that it is difficult to find a man as moral as someone who shoots and kills an unarmed man in an alley.
It is unethical for anyone and any organization to give a pernicious ethics villain, an ethics corrupter, like Taylor Lorenz a platform to corrupt others, but that’s what CNN did. Furthermore, when she blathered her evil garbage, host Donie O’Sullivan didn’t have the wit, integrity or professionalism to condemn her statement (I would have thrown her off the program on the spot). Instead, he joked about it, saying “Yeah, I just realized women will literally date an assassin before they swipe right on me. That’s where we’re at.”
Yup, that’s where we’re at, where morally and ethically bankrupt pundits and journalism corrupt American values in the media every day, hour after hour.

Taylor Lorenz actually stated, “he’s a person that seems like this morally good man…” after Luigi Mangione publicly assassinated someone? That’s openly stated utterly morally bankruptcy!
Furthermore, a man appearing to be a “revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who is young, who’s smart” is not justifiable criteria for being considered a morally good man. How did Lorenz’s mind get so morally twisted?
Holy Shit!
No Lorenz, you imbecile, a man that assassinates another person, like Mangione did, doesn’t seem like a morally good man. Lorenz’s statement is about as signature significant as you can possibly get.
This signature significant statement from Taylor Lorenz should get all of her public soap boxes yanked from under her feet and forced to wear a Moral Bankruptcy Scarlett Letter of some kind for the rest of her ignorant existence.
As you have noticed, a lot of the Freaking Out Left now regard crimes of violence as “moral.”

Yes.
I’ve also noticed that most of the left, especially the extreme progressives, haven’t said a damn word against the open violence against Tesla dealerships and/or Tesla owners that’s been going on for a while; however, today I’m hearing all kinds of cries from these previous silent hypocrites of the left that now violence must have no place in our politics. Of course they’ve only come to this moral realization after the home of the Democrat Governor of Pennsylvania was fire bombed. These leftists are now trying to coverup their brazen hypocrisy regarding open political violence by stating their virtue against violence after the violence comes to roost in their backyard. I don’t believe a damn word of the moral virtue signaling coming from these leftist brazen hypocrites.
I’m really sick and tired of all the left’s open lies, propaganda, hypocrisy, and brazen double standards. It’s really beginning to seem like they’re all morally bankrupt.
Women often DO go for bad guys (which as often as not comes back on them), but this is a step too far. I’ve dealt with cases that involve murderers, at least one of whom thought he was this moral victim who was where he was because the world was against him and who sued because he was waiting for a drug deal, fled from the police because he thought they were going to rob him, and claimed that he didn’t throw away a gun he knew he wasn’t supposed to have, instead he threw away his cell phone, because it had pictures of him and his girlfriend having sex that he didn’t want to get out. Even the worst slugs can get women.
CNN was unethical in inviting Taylor Lorenz for an interview, given what she said not too long ago at Piers Morgan’s talks how. CNN should have done their research, and have concluded that Taylor Lorenz does not deserve a public podium but ought to be shunned instead.
Lorenz is now revising her statement. Her claim is that she is not stating that Mangione is “a morally good man,” but the rather the women in the first sentence – those who might be supportive of Mangione – will see him as morally good.
Then of course she goes on to claim that healthcare systems are “violent systems” and those systems will only respond when violent acts – like the shooting of Thompson – occur.
She’s a piece of (very bad) work.

…and Taylor Lorenz better pray to whatever god she believes in that nutjobs like Mangione don’t begin to see mainstream media as the “violent systems” they have surely become.
So the company that says it will not pay for an overpriced procedure that may or may not save a life is the bad guy but not the health care professionals who set the astronomically high price for their services that save the life. I don’t think health insurers balk at reasonable service fees that have at least some chance of success. How many alcoholics are denied liver transplants or smokers denied heart transplants. Ask Taylor if those who make those decisions should die at the hand of a revolutionary.
If progressive women define this dude as a “morally good man,” then it’s no wonder the divorce rate is so high for some. Progressive women who believe like her have such a skewed view of life that they will never be happy.
Also, it’s weird to celebrate an assassin.
Minor, minor point: I’m pretty sure the shooting took place on a sidewalk along a major street in front of a hotel. Brazen is hardly the word.
Of course, the guy’s paranoid schizophrenic. I’d encourage any of those women admiring him to get involved with a paranoid schizophrenic as soon as possible and have a great time.
Evidently no small percentage of progressive women are madly in love with Mangioni.
Somewhere John Hinckley is feeling cheated.
To be fair, John was and is kind of a troll. If he had looked like Mangione, Jodie might have answered his love notes.
