Look at this ethically deprived Nation staffer openly justify @aidachavez flagrantly ripping off my reporting without credit.
I was the lone US reporter to bring Nephew's writings to light.
The Nation not only leeched my story, Chavez used the exact same Nephew quotes as me.

Not only did @aidachavez quote the same passages from Nephew's 232 page book as I did weeks ago, she copied the screenshot I used.
And the Nation's @anastasiakeeley is proud of this ripoff.
A perfect exhibit of the decayed state of "progressive" media.

Hardly anyone in US progressive circles knew of Richard Nephew or his criminal confessions before I published this last September, which was rt'ed 920+ times. Nephew was even forced to respond to it.
This formed the whole basis for @aidachavez's article.

When Nephew was appointed deputy Iran envoy this month, I published this, which also featured twisted public statements he made.
Today, the Nation's @aidachavez wrote basically the same story, but in diluted form w/no credit to me for bringing it to light thegrayzone.com/2021/03/08/bid…

There is absolutely no scenario in which @aidachavez could have written her piece on Nephew without relying on my work. She did not read Nephew's book and added absolutely nothing I did not already report. I even wrote her to give her the chance to credit my work, but no reply.
It's also unclear that @aidachavez even opposes US sanctions on principle. Here she is attacking @codepink for failing to support the criminal, child-starving sanctions on Syria in an article positively citing a bunch of right-wing DC regime change groups. theintercept.com/2019/01/25/syr… 
The Nation is obviously aware of the issue and had all day to put it to bed by noting my work. Easy fix. But it seems that citing @TheGrayzoneNews is forbidden among DC/NY "progressive" media opportunists, so much so that they will abandon any pretense to journalistic ethics.
