The Grayzone
The Grayzone's masthead identifies Max Blumenthal as founder and editor in chief and says the publication has operated independently since 2018. Its support disclosure says it relies on readers through PayPal and Patreon and does not accept government or government-backed funding. The page does not identify an operating corporation, beneficial owners, accounts or donor concentration.
The founder-editor and stated funding policy are verified from the outlet's own disclosure. The legal control and actual revenue mix remain unverified without corporate or tax records.

What the records do not settle
These are research targets, not insinuations. A missing disclosure stays missing until a primary record answers it.
- 01What legal entity owns the publication and its intellectual property?
- 02What share of annual revenue comes from subscriptions, small donors, large donors and related media activity?
- 03Does any contributor provide a material share of annual revenue?
What Gen Us observed
This is a sample of analyzed stories, not a permanent rating of every article the outlet publishes.
Ownership is evidence of control structure, not proof of editorial causation.
To claim that an owner changed coverage, Gen Us requires separate evidence tied to a decision, communication, policy, or documented intervention. That distinction is the point of this database.
