Editing The Grayzone (section)

== Reporting ==
The Grayzone as an outlet has a heavy focus on [[imperialism]] and related proxy wars waged by the [[Western world|Western]] powers against the [[Global South]]. In this capacity, they have published extensive reporting on subjects including the [[Syrian Civil War]], attempts at [[regime change]] in countries such as [[Venezuela]] and [[Cuba]], and debunked allegations of genocide in [[China]].

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, The Grayzone reported that bipartisan US [[Ruling class|elites]] are using the same playbook as [[Russiagate]] to smear [[China]], while deflecting the blame for domestic dysfunction.<ref>[https://thegrayzone.com/2020/04/25/us-elites-use-russiagate-playbook-to-blame-china-and-promote-hostility/ US elites use Russiagate playbook to blame China and promote hostility]</ref> Subsequently, articles [[Covid denialism|skeptical of Covid-19 vaccines]] began appearing on the site, with Ben Norton eventually quietly leaving the Grayzone in 2022. It is not confirmed exactly why Norton left, but consensus in [[Marxist-Leninist]] circles is that the Grayzone has taken a [[Rightist|rightward turn]].
