For your information, it was founded in 2015 and is edited by Max Blumenthal, and a notable former editor and reporter is Ben Norton (he left The Grayzone in 2022 to form Geopolitical Economy Report). And on Wikipedia, I saw they list The Grayzone is pro-China, Pro-Russia and pro-Ba’athist Syria (and far-left fringe site too). So, what is your thought on The Grayzone?

    Back when I used to watch them, I found that Max himself and others under the greyzone umbrella are outright transphobic.

    There are some examples in this article: https://socialistcurrents.org/?p=4428

    I noticed this on some of their videos on youtube as well. I think that they do valuable reporting on a number of anti-imperialist causes, particularly with respect to Palestine, but I’m not going to watch people regularly who are outright bigoted against trans people like me.

    Ben Norton does great work though, I watch him regularly, the Geopolitical Economy Report is well researched and well presented and I’ve yet to get a whiff of this sort of bigotry from him. Glad he went his own way.
