As part of a Friday segment on MTP Daily on MSNBC, correspondent Morgan Radford blamed Fox News, Tucker Carlson, and Glenn Greenwald for online death threats and sexual harassment directed at female journalists, which included Washington Post tech columnist Taylor Lorenz tying such attacks to her PTSD.
Host Chuck Todd came out of commercial and set the table, “The latest government statistics show 1 in 3 women under the age of 35 have experienced a type of essentially sexual harassment online. It’s often under-reported and many times not taken seriously despite its serious risk to mental health and physical safety.” To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Todd then introduced Radford who launched into a recorded segment with Lorenz and The 19th ’s Kate Sosin, “Journalist Taylor Lorenz is a columnist for the Washington Post and was targeted one year ago in a segment on Fox News.”
After playing a brief clip of Carlson declaring that, “She’s at the very top of journalism’s repulsive little food chain,” Radford continued, “Host Tucker Carlson mocking her after she called for an end to online harassment. Now she’s at the center of a new study by NYU researchers, among the first to actually quantify online hate against female journalists.”
The point of Carlson’s segment wasn’t mocking Lorenz for being the worst parts of the internet, but pointing out that she claims to be against harassment but, because she isn’t very good at her job , she ends up being what she claims oppose.
Of course, MSNBC didn’t mention that Lorenz’s inaccurate reporting that led to the segment and of course, it doesn’t justify death threats or […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
