Reporting
The Grayzone as an outlet has a heavy focus on imperialism and related proxy wars waged by the Western powers against the Global South. In this capacity, they have published extensive reporting on subjects including the Syrian Civil War, attempts at regime change in countries such as Venezuela and Cuba, and debunked allegations of genocide in China.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, The Grayzone reported that bipartisan US elites are using the same playbook as Russiagate to smear China, while deflecting the blame for domestic dysfunction.[2] Subsequently, articles skeptical of Covid-19 vaccines began appearing on the site, with Ben Norton eventually quietly leaving the Grayzone in 2022.
Reactions
The Grayzone has experienced severe negative reactions from the corporate-controlled Western media, especially for its extensive reporting basically debunking the Russiagate narrative.[3]
Censorship
British journalist Paul Mason plotted with an intel contractor to deplatform and censor The Grayzone.[4][5][6][7]
