CounterPunch is a bi-monthly magazine published in the United States that covers politics in a manner its editors describe as "muckraking with a radical attitude".[1] It has been described as left-wing by both supporters and detractors.[2][3][4]

CounterPunch magazine has published frequent commentaries by Alexander Cockburn, current editor-in-chief Jeffrey St. Clair, editor Joshua Frank, and includes regular contributions by a wide range of others. Topics include critical coverage of both Democratic and Republican politicians[5][6] and extensive reporting of environmental and trade union issues, American foreign policy, and the Israeli-Arab conflict.[7]

History

The newsletter was established in 1994 by the Washington, D.C.-based investigative reporter Ken Silverstein.[8] He was soon joined by the journalists Cockburn and St. Clair.[9] In 1996, Silverstein left the publication and Cockburn and St. Clair became co-editors.[10] In 2007, Cockburn and St. Clair wrote that in founding CounterPunch they had "wanted it to be the best muckraking newsletter in the country", and cited as inspiration such pamphleteers as Edward Abbey, Peter Maurin, and Ammon Hennacy, as well as the socialist/populist newspaper Appeal to Reason (1895–1922).[11]

CounterPunch-sourced news stories have frequently featured in the Project Censored annual list of top 25 "underreported, mis-reported, or censored" news stories, including three in 1997 ("Dark Alliance: Tuna Free Trade, and Cocaine";[12] "Corporate America Spends Big $$ on Pro-China PR";[13] and "U.S. Alone in Blocking Export Ban of Toxic Waste to Third World"[14]). Other entries include 1998 ("The Scheme to Privatize the Hanford Nuke Plant"[15] and "American Drug Industry Uses the Poor as Human Guinea Pigs"[16]), several in 2000[17][18] and others in 2001[19] 2003[20] and 2004.[21]

Regular CounterPunch contributor Israel Shamir was part of the WikiLeaks organisation and an associate of its director, Julian Assange,[22] and in late 2010 and early 2011 wrote a series of exclusive articles for CounterPunch drawing on materials from the United States diplomatic cables leak.[23] He has also written and co-written articles for CounterPunch on what he alleges to be a campaign of harassment against Assange.[24] One of these articles, "Assange Betrayed",[25] made allegations against a plaintiff in a Swedish rape case against Assange that were widely circulated in the media.[26][27] The allegations in CounterPunch were the topic of controversy in the mainstream media.[28]

Topics and contributors

CounterPunch publishes articles from contributors critical of conventional wisdom on certain topics, under its slogan "muckraking with a radical attitude." This stance has been controversial in some areas, including in relation to the Arab–Israeli conflict, where CounterPunch has published anti-Zionist figures including Israel Shamir, Gilad Atzmon, and Norman Finkelstein,[29] as well as Uri Avnery, founder of the Gush Shalom protest movement in Israel. Others include Jonathan Cook[30] and 2016 Green Vice-presidential candidate Ajamu Baraka.[31]

Within the broader area of American foreign policy, contributors include Ajamu Baraka,[32] William Blum and Patrick Cockburn. CounterPunch also has a strong tradition of criticizing US financial and economic policy, including the financial regulation deficits which led to the 2008 crisis. In this area contributors include former Financial Times and Forbes editor Eamonn Fingleton,[33] Paul Craig Roberts (Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration), Winslow T. Wheeler and Michael Hudson.[34] On environmental issues, contributors include Joshua Frank[35] and Harvey Wasserman.[36] Some more frequent contributors, such as Dave Lindorff and Saul Landau, cover a wide range of subjects.

Reception

In 2003, The Observer described the CounterPunch website as a "popular political sources in America, with a keen following in Washington".[37] Other sources have variously described CounterPunch as a "left-wing",[2][3][4] "extreme" or "radical"[38][39] a "political newsletter",[40] and a "muckraking newsletter".[41]

The lobby group Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) that counters criticism of the Israeli government in U.S. media in 2007 described CounterPunch.org as an "extremist anti-Israel web site."[42] CounterPunch was also criticized for an interview with Pink Floyd's Roger Waters in which he made extreme comments on Israel and a "Jewish lobby."[43] (Waters in a separate interview with Haaretz stated that he hates apartheid and not Israelis.[44])

In 2004, Max Boot described CounterPunch as an "extreme" "conspiracy-mongering website", citing a 2003 article by Dave Lindorff comparing George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler.[38][45] The same article was also referred to by James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal as similarly permitting the dismissal of CounterPunch. Lindorff has defended his article against this characterization.[46]

In 2016, Adrian Chen of The New Yorker called CounterPunch a "respected left-leaning" publication following accusations that CounterPunch promoted a pro-Russian agenda.[47]

Books

CounterPunch Books, an imprint of AK Press,[48] has published a number of books, typically works by individual CounterPunch contributors, or collections of essays by CounterPunch contributors. The most controversial books, reflecting CounterPunch' stance on criticism of the Israeli government, are The Politics of Anti-Semitism (2003), edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, and The Case Against Israel (2005) by Michael Neumann, a philosophy professor at Trent University Ontario in response to Alan Dershowitz's The Case for Israel. Of the former book, CounterPunch said "Is this the most controversial book of 2003? It was denounced by liberals and neocons alike, numerous reviews in mainstream papers were quashed by editors."[49]

A number of CounterPunch books focus on environmental issues, including St Clair's Born Under a Bad Sky: Notes from the Dark Side of the Earth (2008)[50] and Andrea Peacock's Wasting Libby: The True Story of How the WR Grace Corporation Left a Montana Town to Die (2010), on W. R. Grace and Company's role in Libby, Montana.[51] A Dime's Worth of Difference: Beyond the Lesser of Two Evils (2004), a collection of essays, illustrates CounterPunch's criticism of both the Republican and Democratic parties.[52]

Other books include Serpents in the Garden: Liaisons With Culture & Sex (2004), Imperial Crusades: Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia (2004), and End times: the death of the fourth estate (2007), all edited by Cockburn and St Clair, and How the Economy Was Lost: The War of the Worlds (2009) by Paul Craig Roberts.
