That wiki page is hilarious. The cite for the claim greyzone is misinformation is a paper that offhandedly and without evidence says that grey zone is misleading people.
Actually most of the cites are "people are saying' levels of evidence. Wikipedia is a joke.
If you wanted to claim that greyzone was " sympathetic to authoritarian régimes" or "denied genocide" then you could just link directly to the greyzone to show what they're doing, but instead they wiki authors have decided to cite articles the obliquely mention these claims. Its the equivalent of writing a ransom note with magazine clippings but with citations.
I suspect they avoid linking directly because GZ articles are usually well sourced and have nuances that don't support the wiki author's bs.
This is exactly it, but not directly. Grayzone is forbidden from being used as a source on Wikipedia for this reason.
Its weird that youd lie considering their front page is full of charged wording and conspiracy level articles. Not to mention wikipedia CITES everything. "No evidence" only works if you're blind. I suppose you're one of the authors lol.
Yeah sure just go ahead link me the articles you take umbrage with and why.
