Fox News host’s segment on journalist’s harassment awareness tweet ‘a calculated and cruel tactic’
The
New York Times rose to defend journalist Taylor Lorenz against “calculated and cruel” attacks by the Fox News host Tucker Carlson. The tech reporter for the Times was criticized on Carlson’s show for her online harassment awareness tweet just after International Women’s Day.
Lorenz’s tweet read: “For international women’s day please consider supporting
Women enduring online harassment. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the harassment and smear campaign I’ve had to endure over the past year has destroyed my life. No one should have to go through this.”
