'Right wing opinions are fine, left wing opinions are not': Taylor Lorenz raises eyebrows with claim about the NYT

Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz has suggested that there is a right-wing bias at the New York Times, claiming that journalists who work at the outlet can express right-wing political views but not left-wing views.

Lorenz previously worked at the Times as a technology reporter.

"Anyone who's worked as a journalist at the NYT knows that journalists there are absolutely allowed to loudly espouse political opinions, you just have to espouse the *right* political opinions. Right wing opinions are fine, left wing opinions are not," Lorenz wrote in a post on Threads.

Over on X, Elon Musk responded to a Not the Bee post about Lorenz's comments, tweeting laughing emojis and saying, "The parody writes itself."

"Lol," Kurt Schlichter wrote when reacting to a screenshot of Lorenz's comments.

"This person lives in an alternate reality," Adam Rubenstein tweeted regarding Lorenz's post.

Someone else wrote that "Taylor Lorenz out-Taylor Lorenzed herself."

In another post on Threads, Lorenz wrote that "at the NYT I wasn't allowed to express the 'opinion' that online harassment was a bad thing, in the midst of having my entire family harassed and doxxed. I also once had to delete a tweet where I said I don't like living in America lol. But saying 'wokes' are taking over campus is totally fine in their book."
