Thursday&#8217;s episode of <em>Reality Check with Wang Guan<\/em> on CGTN, the English-language Chinese propaganda network, featured a segment on Lorenz&#8217;s recent hit piece on TikTok&#8217;s biggest competitor, Meta, formerly known as Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese propagandist <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cgtnofficial\/status\/1509720957925085190?s=21&#038;t=63z3roiG-NfeIZ6wmtaJbA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">praised<\/a> the <em>Post<\/em> for highlighting Meta&#8217;s efforts to &#8220;sabotage its main Chinese competitor&#8221; and &#8220;orchestrate an anti-China messaging campaign&#8221; by &#8220;exploiting [the] American public&#8217;s growing fear of China.&#8221; CGTN is a state-run operation controlled by the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party, the leaders of which are actively carrying out a genocide against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, Lorenz caused a stir Friday by breaking down in tears during an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FreeBeacon\/status\/1509955133412630534\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appearance<\/a> on MSNBC. The TikTok advocate claimed that her efforts to cultivate a <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/taylor-lorenz-meme-girl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">personal brand<\/a> as a journalist influencer have given her &#8220;severe PTSD&#8221; by bringing her into contact with &#8220;the worst people on the internet.&#8221; The MSNBC segment included a chyron citing a recent survey finding that one in three women under the age of 35 have experienced &#8220;online harassment.&#8221; It remains unclear whether Lorenz belongs in that category.<\/p>\n<p>A <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/taylor-lorenz-age-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigation<\/a> published in December 2020 determined that Lorenz was born in October 1984, which would make her 37\u00bd years old today. Alas, the results of that investigation were called into question on Thursday after Lorenz revealed that she was actually 43 years old.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that Lorenz has previously endorsed lying about one&#8217;s age. &#8220;[T]he move is to always tell ppl ur older or make them think ur older than you are so they&#8217;re constantly thinking \u2018wow, she looks great for her age!'&#8221; she wrote in September 2020. That same year, Lorenz appeared on the <em>Forbes<\/em> &#8220;40 Under 40&#8221; list. If she is actually 43 years old today, that means she would have been 41 at the time, which raises a number of troubling questions.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Free Beacon<\/em> will continue to investigate and will not rest until we obtain a (long-form) birth certificate.\u00a0Lorenz, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/washington-post-taylor-lorenz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">described<\/a> herself as &#8220;the most online reporter you can find,&#8221; is best known for <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/taylor-lorenz-birthday-celeb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attending<\/a> a TikTok celeb&#8217;s 16th birthday party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington Post\u00a0journalist Taylor Lorenz&#8217;s relentless advocacy on behalf of the Chinese spyware app TikTok is finally being recognized by China&#8217;s state-run propaganda outlets.
