Summary

Max Blumenthal joined Scott on Antiwar Radio this week. Blumenthal’s publication, the Gray Zone, was recently attacked by the Washington Post in a story designed to frame Blumenthal and his colleagues as paid agents of foreign regimes. Scott and Blumenthal debunk this characterization and review why establishment publications like the Washington Post are targeting the Gray Zone. Discussed on the show: “News site editor’s ties to Iran, Russia show misinformation’s complexity” (Washington Post) “UN finds at least 14 Israelis likely intentionally killed by own army on 7 October” (Middle East Eye) Manufacturing Consent by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky Max Blumenthal is a senior editor of the Grayzone Project and the author Goliath, Republican Gomorrah and The 51 Day War. Follow him on Twitter @MaxBlumenthal.
