After Thompson was shot\u2063 and killed\u200d in New York City, Lorenz expressed her views \u2064on social media, suggesting that people understand why such executives might be targeted. Her remarks, which appeared to \u2063celebrate the incident, caught the ire \u200cof various media \u2062outlets and the public. Following this backlash, Vox Media decided not to renew her podcast distribution deal, which had \u2062already been\u200b a short-term partnership. Despite the timing of the decision, it highlights the ongoing criticism of Lorenz and the controversial nature of her \u200ccommentary. While she claimed her comments were meant to reflect a public sentiment regarding the healthcare industry, her justification has not mitigated the fallout, with many interpreting\u2064 her\u2063 statements as inciting violence against corporate leaders.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It looks like the queen of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/44-san-francisco-schools-to-see-name-changes\/\" title=\"44 San Francisco schools to see name changes\">liberal cancel culture<\/a> has finally gotten herself canceled.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-smiling-nyt-wapo-vet-says-felt-joy-insurance-ceo-assassinated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taylor Lorenz<\/a>, the controversial former Washington Post and New York Times reporter who recently went independent, is not getting her podcast distribution deal with Vox Media renewed amid a series of vile comments and non-apologies regarding the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson was killed in New York City last Wednesday.
