That would be literally devastating if I had cited Wikipedia itself instead of using it as a way to point you to a long list of citations from far more authoritative sources without wasting my time typing them all out again.

Good effort though.

I’ve been watching the Five Eyes governments and Anglosphere corporate media try to squelch The Grayzone for years.

It would be devastating if you were to read Inventing Reality or Manufacturing Consent.

You know who else was on RT? Chris Hedges. Why was he there? Because he was right about Iraq’s supposed WMDs, so corporate media permanently shunned him. Meanwhile people who got it wrong, like Anderson Cooper, are still prominent corporate media figures, because they’ve proven to be reliable lap dogs. I mean, Cooper interned at the CIA.

Corporate media obviously aren’t going to want to correct their coverage of Victoria Nuland & co’s Maidan coup.

Citing Wikipedia is lazy and reflects a lack of effort. Do better.

Actually, it still wouldn't have been devastating because it continues to ignore the credibility of The Grayzone as the subject matter of the comment thread. It's just doubling down on the original tangent.
