Damn, looks like a messy breakup. I was wondering what the status of their current relationship was exactly, so this clears things up a lot. Good on Ben for ditching the Grayzone brand.

Ben Norton was why I was reading The Grayzone in the first place. When he left, I left with him. Then I saw Blumenthal's tone really change on twitter over time and I was like... ok this guy is not a principled leftist, but an opportunist. He kind of did the Glenn Greenwald thing.
