Max Blumenthal: Rare, Courageous Journalist
As the fictional Irish bartender Mr. Dooley said, ‘The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” But the journalist who actually lives up to that adage is nearly extinct in this Age of Propaganda (and the U.S. is among the most heavily propagandized nations in the world). One journalist who regularly lives up to it is Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone, seen in the video below challenging a Blinken spolesman in a State Department briefing, challenging him over the U.S.-enabled genocide in Gaza.
