Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate are pretty shitty people in their own right
Idk if they’re getting funded, but Gray Zone definitely sucks. Their coverage is consistently atrocious, and they publish unmitigated apologia for some of the worst regimes on the planet (specifically Assad). I’ve made this point repeatedly, but Max Blumenthal - the Gray Zone’s founder - actually resigned from Al Akhbar after they began propagating the sort of Assad apologia he’s since made a career out of. He later published a piece addressing the merits of humanitarian intervention in Syria in a far more nuanced capacity than anything that’s ever appeared on Gray Zone. It seems pretty evident that he’s a grifter who’s found a very particular niche to profit off of.
