Taylor Lorenz:

- Attacks a female CEO out of the blue
- Made a factual error ( @stephkorey is still Away CEO!)
- Violated NYT social media guidelines
- Then omits her own attack & plays victim ( http://archive.is/rU1Oa )

This is how it works. These "journalists" are sociopaths.

All "journalists" need to understand this:

Treat people with respect, and they will be respectful.
But insult someone and prepare to be insulted back!

And no, employees of media corporations aren't exempt from standards of civility. We're all equal, all citizen journalists now.

Btw, here's the editor of TheInformation gently trying to explain to Lorenz that her initial drive-by assault on @stephkorey (who has less than 8k followers and was just talking to her friends!) didn't actually include any arguments. https://twitter.com/Jessicalessin/status/1278326121524756481

Here's their MO:

- "journalist" attacks someone
- you defend them
- "journalist" omits their original attack
- ...and pretends they're the victim!
- then tries to go after your job or company

This doesn't affect me at all. But this is what they do to you.

Remember, journalists always go after your job.

So it's completely fair to ask @CorbettNYT & @deanbaquet why Lorenz flagrantly violated NYT social media guidelines.

"Always treat others with respect on social media."

Did she treat Korey with respect?

To summarize:

- Every citizen is now equal to a journalist
- Every company is now a media company
- There are no double standards anymore
- And @TaylorLorenz should apologize to @stephkorey

If you treat people with respect, you'll be treated with respect. And conversely.
