A note on the missing fields: You'll notice this table skips exact age, height, and net worth. No verified public record exists for any of them, so instead of guessing, we're telling you that plainly. Several other sites list numbers for these fields; those numbers are unsourced estimates, not facts.
How Danny Haiphong Started in Journalism
Haiphong began writing in 2011 for Socialist Worker, a publication covering labor and anti-war organizing. He was also a member of the International Socialist Organization during this period.
In 2014, he joined Black Agenda Report, where he's remained a regular contributor. His writing there focuses on U.S. foreign policy, race, and what he describes as the myths of "American exceptionalism."
His Book
Haiphong co-authored American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People's History of Fake News — From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror with Roberto Sirvent, published by Skyhorse Publishing. The book argues that mainstream narratives about U.S. history obscure a longer pattern of foreign intervention.
The YouTube Channel
Haiphong launched his YouTube channel in October 2019. His first video analyzed the Hong Kong–NBA controversy, and the channel has since grown into long-form interviews with journalists, former diplomats, and anti-war commentators.
Subscriber counts for independent YouTube channels change constantly and aren't something a static article can verify precisely — treat any specific number you see (including on this page) as a snapshot, not a guarantee. What's stable is the channel's format: extended geopolitical interviews rather than short news clips.
What He Covers
His videos and articles regularly focus on:
- U.S. foreign policy and military intervention
- China–U.S. relations and multipolarity
- Russia, Ukraine, and NATO
- Middle East conflicts, including Israel-related coverage
Field Reporting and International Trips
Haiphong has traveled for firsthand reporting rather than relying only on secondhand analysis. In October 2023, he joined a Veterans For Peace tour of Vietnam. In August 2023, he addressed the UN Security Council on the risks of NATO arms transfers to Ukraine.
He has also spent time in China, including reporting trips discussed on Black Agenda Report alongside colleagues Ajamu Baraka and Margaret Kimberley.
