I mean, I really appreciate what The Grayzone is trying to do…
But Max Blumenthal, the editor of The Grayzone, is one of the authors of this piece. And he writes many paragraphs that are followed by “sources”, which are actually just Tweets by… Max Blumenthal.
That is not a good look.
The JPost article about Mossad… gold.
The tracing of the NGOs… gold.
But I actually can’t share this with anyone because the editor approved himself citing himself…
He has a lot more sources in this article than just his own tweets. Out of several dozen sources linked in the article i counted five times that he linked to his own tweets. Four of those just have videos from other sources embedded, with the logo of where the video is from visible in the video. The fifth is showing and commenting on a Polymarket tweet. I agree that he should have linked those sources directly rather than over the extra step of going through his own Twitter account. This is self-promoting but it doesn’t make the sourcing of the article less solid.
I agree somewhat. It’s hard because his tweets make some claims that are either editorial or unsourced and I have to dig further. And I know that my interlocutors won’t put in that much effort.
Yes, it shows the video with the watermark, but that’s not enough to establish the fact of what the video is of
