The Washington Post revoked a job promotion offer to the editor allegedly responsible for stealth editing Taylor Lorenz's YouTubers report last week. THE WASHINGTON POST'S WEEK FROM HELLWemple's report, which largely focused on Taylor Lorenz's tweetstorm blaming her editor for her erroneous report, posed the question, "Is that OK?" The controversy began when Lorenz's report alleged she had reached out to YouTubers for comment regarding how online influencers thrived during the explosive Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial. "That outrage works much better when a 135-word editor’s note isn’t hanging over your article," Wemple swiped his colleague. The Post had to issue multiple corrections after it was caught stealth-editing Lorenz's report, leaving many questions still unanswered.
