#2A for profit news editorial site based on sensationalism. Why is anyone surprised? That's "news" today. Just turn on the television in the US. I haven't been able to watch CNN since the mid-90's.

#4>> "Bloomberg LP competes with Zero Hedge in providing financial news and information."
Translation: "Yes, we're attacking the competition."

All editors make choices, and to me, this was the wrong choice.
All this does in validate ZeroHedge is a threat and makes Bloomberg look like a wannabe thug.
Beyond that, appears ZeroHedge made something of this disclaimer too: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-29/full-story-behind-b...

The value in ZH is that their sensationalism is pretty much the reverse of most other mainstream media. "Anti-establishment" as they say.

#6Zerohedge is one of the most remarkable web sites today. I started reading it after 2009 and today it's (along with HN) my daily read.
For me as a Westerner there are few places where I can read non-mainstream opinions on things like the war in Syria, the oil price and currency wars, the daily SNAFU in the financial worldlike Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP).
To be sure, the headlines are often sensationalist but the content often exceeds whatever analysis you can get to read from mainstream media (= the big online newspapers in the US, and Europe).
Here is Zerohedge's response to the above article: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-29/full-story-behind-b...

#7If no one has been to the site before here it is: http://www.zerohedge.com/
Believe it or not it has a huge following in the finance world due to it often being one of the first ones to break or provide color on important stories.
It's not uncommon at all to see a row of traders with tweet deck open allocating a single column to Zero hedge, they are just that prolific with their output.
The downside of the site is that they tend to have a very big bearish slant though. No one has ever accused them of being neutral.
I hope they continue to run the site. I find it provides a fair bit of value to me.

That is astonishing. If you remove the usual conspiracy theories and the right wing populism crap there is not much more left than you can read on bloomberg or any other financial news site.
