Zero Hedge is a financial, underground-alternative, conservative media blog, which doesn't shrink from perspectives censored by the commercially-controlled media. It was included in the original 2016 PropOrNot list of 200 "Fake News" websites and has been consistantly one of the most popular sites on that list. Site bias leans mega-bear, constantly threatening the end of world, daily predicting an 'Armageddon' that never comes to pass and has a dismal record on stock market predictions as well. Zerohedge has been a widow-maker in bad market calls since 2011, although they occasionally make a spectacular call that proves right, so you can't simply dismiss all articles. Site leans "apolitical" and will attack any candidate or politician for corruption, but leans towards conservative/populism.

Attribution
Many of the Zero Hedge writers pen under the pseudonym 'Tyler Durden'. Contributing Editors also offer a regular selection of articles to the site[1]. Contributing Editors, who formerly promoted and supported President Trump during the 2016 election, site daily debunking insane attacks from mainstream media which all proved false, have now switched almost universally to promoting Progressive-Democrat, Tulsi Gabbard 2020 Campaign, with virtually zero vetting of her campaign to expose hypocrisy, flip-flopping or ties to the Council on Foreign Relations, as they did for Donald Trump in the 2016 Election cycle. Often more can be learned, simply reading the comments section at the bottom of any article, than from the articles themselves. Regulars do a good job debunking poorly researched or overly biased articles, along with offering links to other interesting sources/sites. Since anyone may register to comment, the site has seen an influx of trolls, in recent years, possibly from intelligence service and foreign governments, along with bad actors promoting links with viruses. Site commentators do a good job identifying regular offenders.
Manifesto
Site bills itself as a whistleblower source, using the Tyler Durden pseudonym to purportedly disguise sources and authors.[2]

- Full article:
On September 11, 2018, Zero Hedge posted an article by David Stolinsky which supported the 9/11 official narrative of the 19 hijackers that recommended that the US use a "size-14 boot stomp... [in the Middle East] to encourage our friends and frighten our enemies".[3]
Censorship
Zero Hedge was censored in New Zealand after the Christchurch Mass Shooting. A few days earlier it had been censored by Facebook, a ban that was later termed "a mistake" and repealed.
