Two political commentators teamed up this week to rent a Times Square billboard exposing Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz for a report in which she revealed personal information about the Twitter user who runs the Libs of TikTok account.
Commentator and podcast host Tim Pool on Tuesday tweeted a video of the billboard, which reads, "Hey [Washington Post], democracy dies in darkness. That's why we're shining a light on you. Taylor Lorenz doxxed @libsoftiktok."
The Washington Post and Taylor Lorenz Doxxed @libsoftiktok
They included a link to private work details and an address listed as Libs' private home
They lied about it so I got an ad in Times Square calling them out

Daily Wire founder and CEO Jeremy Boreing joined Pool in paying for the billboard space.
The commentators disseminated their message in response to Lorenz's controversial Washington Post report on Libs of TikTok, a conservative Twitter account that showcases teachers who attempt to indoctrinate their students and others who espouse radical left-wing ideology. Lorenz not only revealed the identity of the anonymous person who runs the account but also included a copy of the person's real estate license, which showed her home address. The Post later removed the home address from the story, then lied about it, saying, "We did not publish or link to any details about her personal life."
Lorenz, who has a history of taking offense at legitimate criticisms, called the billboard "so idiotic" and said "these campaigns have a much darker and more violent side."
