‘It’s very disconcerting when someone with three million viewers calls me a terrorist.’

Awww, Fox News Called Talia Lavin and Lauren Duca ‘Little Journo Terrorists.’ Now They’re Facing Death Threats, Awww... 190324-grove-ingraham-tease-2_vopxns

Former New Yorker fact-checker Talia Lavin believed she had weathered the storm over her ill-advised tweet about a photo of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement employee last June, suggesting erroneously that he was wearing a Nazi Iron Cross tattoo.

No such luck. Lavin (pronounced “lay-vin”) remains in the conservative-media crosshairs even though she deleted the offending tweet after 15 minutes, promptly resigned from her job at the prestigious weekly magazine, and profusely apologized to ICE computer forensics analyst Justin Gaertner, a wheelchair-bound Marine Corps veteran of the fighting in Afghanistan.

The 29-year-old Lavin more recently took a job researching extreme-right outlets for the left-leaning press watchdog Media Matters, before she was laid off after six months.

But after reports this past week that she has been hired to teach a once-a-week journalism course this fall at New York University—on researching the outlets of the far right—conservative media organizations quickly revived the nine-month-old tattoo controversy and vented outrage over Lavin’s new gig.

Among other brickbats, Commentary editor John Podhoretz tweeted (“satirical[ly],” he later explained, as he apologized and deleted his Twitter account) that “J Schools should be neutron bombed.”

Fox News star Laura Ingraham invited convicted and presidentially pardoned felon Dinesh D’Souza on her 10 p.m. show to help her denounce Lavin and her fellow NYU journalism instructor Lauren Duca, another favorite Fox News target, as “little journo-terrorists.”

Ingraham’s Thursday-night broadside repeatedly featured images of Lavin and Duca.

At the same time, Duca also was the target of an extensive Jezebel piece, which alleged she had sent “cruel and harassing anonymous emails to coworkers.”

Both women responded to their critics in interviews with The Daily Beast.
