@coldjoint,
In March 2020, American journalist Seth Hettena wrote an opinion-piece in The New Republic titled "Is Zero Hedge a Russian Trojan Horse?", and provided details on the links between Krassimir Ivandjiiski (the site publisher's Bulgarian father), and Soviet-era activities in propaganda, revealed during litigation initiated by the father against Hettena in the Bulgarian courts.[1] Hettena commented that Zero Hedge has become "a forum for the hateful, conspiracy-driven voices of the angry white men of the alt-right. Racists, anti-Semites, extreme right-wingers, and conspiracy nuts were an underserved audience, and, as it turns out, a profitable one."

@BillW,
Yeah, great track record for Zero Hedge:

Quote:

Says China “stole Coronavirus from Canada and weaponized it into a Bioweapon.” – False
Is a Craigslist ad proof that counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally were “paid to make chaos”? – False
It’s now against the law in California to shower and do laundry on the same day. – Mostly False
A “newly uncovered” photograph reveals Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was crying over an empty parking lot, not detained migrant children, at a protest in Texas. – False
“The Ukrainian government just indicted the Burisma gas company & named Hunter Biden for accepting millions of dollars from a slush fund.” – False
During the last hundred years the temperature is increased about 0.1°C because of carbon dioxide. The human contribution was about 0.01°C. – Incorrect
New Study Confirms EVs Considerably Worse For Climate Than Diesel Cars – Inaccurate
This coronavirus genome contained sequences of another virus […] the HIV virus (AIDS virus) – Inaccurate
Coronavirus contains ‘HIV insertions’ – Inaccurate
Fabricated genetic sequences were used to support the hypothesis that the virus arose naturally – False

mediabias

And here's a little background from 2016:

Is the Alt-Right for Real?

It's great that coldjoint digs up this crap from obscure sites and posts it — it's like having our own in-house media bias checker; if he posts a source you know it's fake news.

How are those things fake news they are the truth, I know the truth and reality bother you but tell me what it is fake in that article.

Let's put it in a way you might understand, if a truck is about to run you over and someone you don't like tells you to move you will stand there and die. Good thinking. The truth is the truth where ever it comes from.

Want to know what Trump can do in the next couple of months? Well, he was asking about attacking Iran.

We also know everything you post is propaganda from Communists, globalists, and thoroughly corrupt politicians, bureaucrats, and a corrupt bought and paid for media. it's like having our own in-house media bias checker; if he posts a source you know it's fake news.

Do I need to remind you of four years of fake news about Russia?[color]

Starting a war that he’s not going to be around to finish is stupid and chickenshit grandstanding taken to deadly heights.

An example of fake news from the NYT.

Trump Campaign Calls NYT on the Carpet: No, 'Secret' Vote-Counting Is *Still* in PA Suit

Quote:
PENNSYLVANIA. <ballot box emoji>
What is *really* going on in the swing state election:
“We are still arguing that 682,479 ballots were counted illegally, in secret.”

@TeamTrump sets the record straight on rampant misreporting. https://donaldjtrump.com/media/setting-the-record-straight-on-trump-campaigns-pennsylvania-litigation

@engineer,
I'm not worried about military actions initiated by him. I very much doubt he has standing with the Pentagon such that they'd follow through with such a scheme, particularly on such a tight timeline. But that he even inquired tells us how immoral the man is. On the other hand, where I think he and his party may well bring great grief to the country is in fighting against covid mitigation in order to hand Biden a disaster far, far worse than it would otherwise be. That he will salt the earth before leaving (with McConnell's help) is a certainty. They are this evil.

The Georgia Secretary of State just announced that the Georgia recount is complete and there was no sign of foul play.

I am also worried where other places he might salt the earth. I understand Devos has some surprises in Education!

There was foul play in the recount. Another lie.

That will be over ruled in the Supreme court. Where are your sources for your last two posts?

They'll do as much damage as possible as broadly as possible. What have you read about DeVos?

That has to passed by the state legislature, not the courts. It is in the Constitution which you know nothing about.
