Overall, we rate Zero Hedge an extreme right biased conspiracy website.

That's a fake "fact checking" site.

Of course it is.

Why not provide evidence disproving OPs post instead of lazily thinking posting a propaganda site like mediabias org somehow proves your point?

I am not saying the story is untrue. I am saying the site he cited is unreliable. Such site have to publish lots of true stuff. This allows them to build a readership who will then fall for the lies that are their real product. Just a liar tells many truths, a fake news site publishes a lot of correct information. Nonetheless, it is unwise to rely on them and a bad policy to spread links to such sites.

Then please share Zerohedge articles that you believe to be fake in order to substantiate your premise.

Sure, even from my tablet I can do that.....

On 20 November 2019, NBC News reported Zero Hedge as the initial source of a "misleading claim about the head of the Ukrainian energy company at the heart of the House impeachment inquiry", which went viral during the impeachment hearings. NBC said that "ZeroHedge apparently misconstrued the original Russian article from the Interfax-Ukraine News Agency, which did not mention an indictment. The Interfax-Ukraine News Agency operates as part of Interfax, a Russian news outlet".

While I'm not a big fan of Zerohedge, the tidbit provided is not persuasively convincing. "Some leeway" is expected in that a busy news source may not always be a 100% accurate. Which has been historically common with any news outlet. Officially, they say Zerohedge "misconstrued" interpreting an article in Russian.

ZeroHedge apparently misconstrued the original Russian article from the Interfax-Ukraine News Agency, which did not mention an indictment. The Interfax-Ukraine News Agency operates as part of Interfax, a Russian news outlet.

On a long enough timeline this does not, thus far, provide convincing proof of mal-intent, consistent or egregious journalistic incompetence from Zerohedge.

Though I won't even vouch for their speculative financial advice, they've successfully called 31 of the last 2 recessions.

What else you got? Hammer your point.

You made me laugh with “31 of the last 2 recessions.” That is an excellent line. I shall certainly steal it.

Further, I may humbly beg to say I do not have at hand a list of failures of that site. Nonetheless, we might agree that using mainstream news sources here is better than less-known sites. Besides, facts are facts. The Russians are building a digital fortress. This is huge. It is being reported elsewhere.

Now excuse me, it is lunchtime.

That site is bunk.

This is hilarious. Both calling the other fake and here I am, without any popcorns.

Zerohedge breaks with the US propaganda.
That is why it is marked.
