Frankly after what he's written and presented to the public in his books he's on a very sticky wicket. The master criminal always makes one fatal error and brand has not only laid out some of his dubious past in his books but also broadcast what he's done. His hubris will undoubtedly be followed by nemesis

Brand's got the power of prayer on his side. I don't suppose that Deacon Calvin Robinson will ever want to lay his Holy Hands on you.

Presents itself as an investigative journalist site, mostly done by one person (Max Blumenthal) and gives plenty of airtime to 'stories' sympathetic to the Russian and Syrian States (among others) and various conspiracy narratives. It's on the left in the same way that Galloway is/was, and in the same ecosystem as some of Brand's stuff around Ukraine.

The Grayzone is known for its critical coverage of US foreign policy and anti-war views, but has been accused of spreading misinformation and Chinese and Russian government propaganda, including debunked claims about the conflict in Ukraine and whitewashed accounts of Beijing’s repression of ethnic minority Muslims in far-western Xinjiang.

Far-left news site says crowdfunding company prevented access to donations, citing ‘external concerns’.www.aljazeera.com
The Grayzone has been criticized for defending authoritarian regimes. In the essay "How to Abolish the Hong Kong Police", The Grayzone was described as "known for misleading reporting in the service of authoritarian states". Nerma Jelacic, writing in the Index on Censorship, described The Grayzone as "a Kremlin-connected online outlet that pushes pro-Russian conspiracy theories and genocide denial."[60] In 2019, The Grayzone had claimed the Commission for International Justice and Accountability, of which Jelacic is a director, collaborated with ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra affiliates.
It has also been sharply criticized for its characterizations of the Xinjiang internment camps and other Chinese state abuses against Uyghurs.
The Russian fake news website Peace Data has republished articles by The Grayzone in order to build a reputation as a progressive and anti-Western media source and to attract contributors.[62] False claims published by The Grayzone are referenced by many Twitter users who back Assad and the Russian government.[39]
The government of China, officials within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and Chinese state media have viewed The Grayzone's coverage of China positively. The site has promoted Chinese Communist Party narratives on Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.[63] In order to dispute accusations of ongoing atrocities in Xinjiang, Chinese state media and Chinese officials have increasingly cited posts from The Grayzone in their public communications

Is "The Grayzone" a legitimate investigative journalism site?
Answer (1 of 13): Investigative journalism is way too strong a term for what The Grayzone does. The site seems to be largely a political advocacy group with a mishmash of views that look quite strange to someone used to mainstream western journalism. To be polite, it seems to be pushing news as ...
