I'd prefer some other agency reported the story given Grayzone's track record
The main criticism 'established' western-aligned media uses to attack The Grayzone is that they have maintained and shown evidence for ISIL using chemical weapons against Syrians, whereas the western narrative is that it was the Syrian government.

They explicitly say that no one other than ISIL is a probable suspect.
