Reporting
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, The Grayzone reported that bipartisan US elites are using the same playbook as Russiagate to smear China, while deflecting the blame for domestic dysfunction.[2]
The Grayzone has covered how the US CIA and its soft power front groups are fomenting unrest in Cuba, which is culminating in the 2021 Cuban protests.[3]
Reactions
The Grayzone has experienced severe negative reactions from the corporate-controlled Western media, especially for its extensive reporting basically debunking the Russiagate narrative.[4]
