How many ML’s are actually doing investigative journalism? Nearly none, AFAIK. We have to get our facts from wherever we can. We can take the information without catching liberal cooties from the messenger.

Unfortunately Blumenthal seems to own the project. I wouldn’t go so far as to paint him as a reactionary, but he’s a weird dude with some awful takes, like those which @Makan@lemmygrad.ml mentioned. Klarenberg & Maté continue to stick around, for better or worse.
Edit to add: The Grayzone never really was ML, so I wouldn’t say they lost that.

He’s no ML, but he’s reliably anti-imperialist, and he’s done a ton of good investigative journalism. Recall his work on the false flag massacre in Syria. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water just because he published Chomsky’s wife’s apologia regarding Epstein.
I’ve always suspected this, but have never looked into it. This is where archive.today sometimes saves the day.
If the spooks aren’t doing it already, one day they’ll be de-pseudonymizing us on social media, by stylometrically matching our pseudonymous writings with our known writings.
