I’m sure he takes the appearances he can get after having all his sources of funding cut. I hope you’re being paid well to call people propagandists who have devoted their lives and sacrificed everything to speak truth to power. I don’t take it at face value and it does seem he has an understandable bias at this point. The gray zone is super strange to read, but these are investigative journalists on the ground. Please point me to a source that has hard proof of ANY of this information being incorrect. Labeling people propagandists and conspiracy theorists is a new form of censorship and it is terrifying.

"Truth to power". There were few people as vehement in supporting Assad's genocide as Max Blumenthal (following his paid junket to Russia in 2015).

  This is the article. Wikipedias naive crowd sourced model has been co-opted by the state. I can’t read the paywalled new statesman article but I see from their recent covers that they have an agenda on this issue https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/18/bombing-mariupol-theater-ukrainian-azov-nato-intervention/ https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/18/bombing-mariupol-theater-... Edit: https://apnews.com/article/Russia-ukraine-war-mariupol-theater-c321a196fbd568899841b506afcac7a1 https://apnews.com/article/Russia-ukraine-war-mariupol-theat... This seems like a pretty well researched account that refutes the false flag idea strongly. The grayzone article still presents some interesting primary sources even when they seem to be wrong here (which is often the case when headlines end in a question mark) Can’t reply below but your skirting of paywalls isn’t as cool as you think. Pay or read something else. You’re stealing. Also, insulting my intelligence doesn’t reduce my suffering in case you were wondering.

    If you can't even get past a paywall, I highly question your ability to apply critical thinking to geopolitics. edit: Unfortunately, on net, showing the weak arguments of proponents of your regurgitated propaganda to hundreds of viewers does in fact move the needle forward so that we have less of this in the future.

> Labeling people propagandists and conspiracy theorists is a new form of censorship and it is terrifying. I’m merely speaking truth to power against a person who seems to love to parrot kremlin talking points. If you don’t want to admit the person who hires ex RT and Sputnik reporters for his website might have something to do with propaganda then that’s okay but I suggest you look up the kind of information that RT and Sputnik put out.
