well, if we're gonna list where he publishes, then we can't be selective now can we? (3rd attempt, Wikipedia is trying to prevent me from listing most of the horrendous sources Pepe writes for)

Pepe Escobar on RT America in 2012

Pepe Escobar (born 1954) is a Brazilian journalist and geopolitical analyst[1] who writes regularly for Asia Times Online. According to journalist Arnaud de Borchgrave, Escobar "is well known for breaking stories in the Arab and Muslim worlds."[2][dubious – discuss]

Escobar is also a commentator on Russia's RT and Sputnik News. Ukrainian journalist Volodymyr Yermolenko describes Escobar as an example of "anti-Western intellectuals" hosted by RT, adding that Escobar suggests "dividing Ukraine between Poland and Russia."[3] In response a question about his motivation from Jesse Zwick at The New Republic in 2012, Escobar replied, "I knew the Kremlin involvement, but I said, why not use it? After a few months, I was very impressed by the American audience. There are dozens of thousands of viewers. A very simple story can get 20,000 hits on YouTube. The feedback was huge.”[4]

Other outlets that used to publish his work include Al Jazeera[5] (not since 2013) Common Dreams,[6] (stopped in 2015) HuffPost,[7] (stopped after 2017 when it first introduced editorial oversight for its unsolicited submissions) Salon.com,[8] (stopped in 2015), The Nation,[9] (again, ceased around November 2015), and Mother Jones[6] (who's last article of his dates to early 2015, but the content of all his submissions have been scrubbed. Escobar still wrote for the explicitly White nationalist, antisemitic, Holocaust-denying conspiracy-mongering website Russia Insider,[10] as recently as 2020, but in that case it's unclear who chose to end the relationship.

He currently writes on an almost daily basis for fringe, conspiracy theorist, blogs and websites (many of whom spread fake news) such as a blog called "Uprooted Palestinians",[7] the largely fake news website ZeroHedge, a far-right Moscow-based blog called "The Vineyard of the Saker"[8]], and the same-old universally-blacklisted conspiracy websites [one that Wikipedia won't allow], UNZ,[9] a Portuguese-language only Brazilian website that designs it's content specifically for the Apple iPad[11], a bizarre Greek-language-only Facebook page that calls itself "iskra", that only manages to attract 4-5 clicks per story[10] and now even more regularly for the extremely sectarian[12][13] and warmongering [14] Al Mayadeen, which is based in Beirut, but is widely presumed to be funded and directed by Iran[15][16][17]s it echoes the Iran regimes sectarian rhetoric, shares a lot of staff with Press TV and other Iranian outlets, is exuberant in it's parise for Hezbollah,[18] Assad,[19] Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad,[20] while saving it's wrath for Iran's favored targets: the West, the USA, and Israel[21] and the Sunni Arab GCC monarchies locally.[22]
