Washington Post Investigates Columnist's Biden Post

News summary

The Washington Post is investigating columnist Taylor Lorenz for potentially violating the paper's standards after she allegedly posted an Instagram story labeling President Joe Biden a 'war criminal' with a frowny face. The post, shared with her 'close friends' list, was leaked and widely criticized, prompting Lorenz to deny its authenticity, claiming it was a manipulated edit. While Lorenz's supporters argue that the caption was a joke referencing a meme by Boygenius member Lucy Dacus about former President Obama, multiple sources and screenshots confirm the original post's authenticity. The controversy has sparked debate on social media, with some defending Lorenz against what they see as targeted harassment. Senior editors at the Washington Post have stated they are taking the allegations seriously and are currently reviewing the situation.
