Factual Reporting: MIXED
Country: Bulgaria
World Press Freedom Rank: Bulgaria 45/180

History

Launched in 2009, Zero Hedge is a finance blog founded by Colin Lokey also known with the pseudonym “Tyler Durden,” Daniel Ivandjiiski, and Tim Backshall. According to a Bloomberg Interview the Zero Hedge founders/authors were anonymous until 2016. A Professional Service Subscription is required to read the rest of the interview from Bloomberg, however a New Yorker article also covered their history.

Zero Hedge wrote a rebuttal article regarding the Bloomberg interview that can be found here. A quote from the rebuttal reads: “Zero Hedge hired Colin when he approached us over a year ago begging for a job after he was fired with cause from Seeking Alpha, following a fight with a co-worker.”

Funded by / Ownership

The website is registered in Bulgaria under the name Georgi Georgiev, a business partner of Krassimir Ivandjiiski.

According to Rationalwiki the only writer “conclusively” identified is “Dan Ivandjiiski, who conducts public interviews on behalf of Zero Hedge.” The blog generates revenue from online advertising.

Analysis / Bias

In a quote from the above New Yorker article they summarize the political stance of the blog, which Lokey told Bloomberg is: “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry= dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.”

Zero Hedge’s content has been classified as “alt-right” and has been criticized for presenting conspiracy theories.

In review, Zero Hedge publishes pro-right wing/Trump articles such as Pat Buchanan: “Trump Calls Off Cold War II.” As well as fake news stories regarding liberals: Anti-Trump Protesters Bused Into Austin, Chicago.

Editorial content is written under the pseudonym Tyler Durden and usually focuses on conspiracies related to economic collapse. Zero Hedge sources to factually mixed think tanks such as the The Mises Institute, which promotes Austrian (Anarcho-Capitalism) economics.

A factual search reveals a terrible track record with IFCN fact checkers. There are too many failed checks to list here.

Overall, we rate Zero Hedge an extreme right biased conspiracy website. (8/18/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 7/17/2018)

Matty, Bard, or NW have never admitted posting lies from an untrustworthy source. Those are the toilets they bathe their brains in.

Here we go again, when they have nothing, as in a source of their choice, that can dispute the claim, they just resort to source bashing, and nothing more.
Cheap, meaningless, and lazy.
Vientomas, your dissertation could be as long as the Mueller report, and it still doesn't dispute the claim.

Gotta love it, they know not how they sound, and what it really means.

I know the favorite liberal-progressive sources won't cover the Comey/Brennan disagreement about the Steele Dossier, it doesn't do them any good. But here's another source that covers the same thing.
So feel free to bash this source as well,,,,,,, it's all you've got.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blame game pits John Brennan against James Comey over support for Steele dossier
by Jerry Dunleavy May 15, 2019

A debate is heating up over whether it was former CIA Director John Brennan or former FBI Director James Comey who attempted to include the unverified Trump dossier in the high-profile Intelligence Community Assessment of January 2017 that focused on Russian interference.

A report from Fox News on Wednesday offered competing claims, with some sources telling them that a yet-to-be-made-public email chain from late 2016 shows that “Comey told [FBI] subordinates that … Brennan insisted the dossier be included” in the assessment, while a former CIA official “put the blame squarely on Comey.”
The dossier, put together by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, contained a litany of unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia and was used extensively in FISA applications before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to justify surveillance of former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. The dossier was compiled through Fusion GPS and funded in part by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, and its possible misuse is the subject of inquiries through the Department of Justice.

For the rest~

Barr appears to be pushing for an investigation of the investigators that he says cleared the president. The interview prompted former FBI Director James Comey to tweet that the attorney general is “sliming his own department.”

note the liberals have only had the ability to investigate for a few months and the right wing are crying victim every minute that the world is not fair.

Not one special prosecutor in the history of our country has ever been a partisan liberal. All have been ultra partisan right wingers.

we need an independent counsel run by a ultra-partisan liberal that will go after all crimes of trump. Kenny Boy Starr was such. Remember the right wing one before Starr found no crimes by the clintons and the right wing cried like babies and spent another 70 million or so and not one grand jury indictment.

When your source has the credibility of a russian troll posting on Facebook, the veracity of the statements from your source requies no rebuttal. Res Ipsa loquitur.
