In a staggering display of journalistic irresponsibility, CNN has managed to sink to yet another new low. In their latest episode of absurdity, the network invited Taylor Lorenz, a noted defender of murderers, for a chat that leaves one questioning whether the decline of serious journalism is reversible. During this interview, the network had the audacity to draw parallels between President Donald Trump and an alleged cold-blooded killer, Luigi Mangione. Mangione is currently in legal hot water for supposedly executing a UnitedHealthcare executive, Brian Thompson, on camera—an act that left discerning viewers shaking their heads in disbelief.
Instead of facing Lorenz’s bizarre infatuation with Mangione with skepticism or criticism, CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan joined in on the spectacle. While Lorenz revels in the glorification of those who commit heinous crimes, her rant touched upon how society supposedly glamorizes murderers across various platforms. The disconnect between her worldview and that of everyday Americans has never been clearer, nor has the delusion among leftist media elites been more pronounced.
Lorenz’s musings illustrated a dangerous mindset, arguing that the mainstream media’s outrage over sympathizing with a murderer is misplaced. In her mind, it’s almost comedic that wealthy media figures are shocked at the idea of someone admiring a killer. She seems entirely blind to the reality that, unlike the idealized criminals she champions, most Americans value human life and understand the gravity of murder, no matter what excuse is spun around it. The fact that Lorenz perceives a “disconnect” between media narratives and public sentiment is not a surprising revelation—it’s a glaring sign of just how far detached she is from mainstream America.

The chilling reality of Mangione’s actions—pointing a gun at Thompson and pulling the trigger—should send shivers down the spine of any rational person. Thompson was targeted not for any egregious crime but simply for being a businessman in a complex healthcare landscape. Lorenz, however, audaciously argues that the killing was somehow justified due to a greater narrative in her warped view of societal grievances. Her rationale reveals a fundamental absence of moral grounding, one that reflects a deeper malaise of values in her ideological circle.
But it doesn’t stop there. O’Sullivan’s comments, equating the public’s support for a suspected murderer to enthusiasm for Trump, demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of political support and its motivations. While one rallies around a President who has never committed a violent crime, the other is celebrated despite the grim act of murder. O’Sullivan’s willingness to laugh and nod along with Lorenz’s disturbing sentiments amplifies the caricature of CNN as a network devoid of journalistic integrity or principle. The responsibility for this grotesque display does not rest solely on their personalities but cascades upwards to CNN’s executives and producers, who allowed this abhorrent interview to air.
In short, this isn’t merely about two individuals acting foolishly on camera. The episode represents a systemic issue within networks like CNN, allowing leftist ideologues to twist moral truths to fit their narratives. If there remains any dignity left in journalism, it will call out this trend for what it is: a willful slide into depravity masked as commentary. Consumers of news deserve better, and it’s time for the media to reflect the values and sensibilities of the American public, rather than the twisted perspectives of the radical left.
