You gotta love this shit. Are you really this thick SIG? Let's take it from the top shall we.
Zero Hedge is an English-language financial blog that aggregates news and presents editorial opinions from original and outside sources.- THUGR
And... so what....???
Quote:And.... so what???
The news portion of the site is written by a group of editors who collectively write under the pseudonym Tyler Durden (a character from the novel and film Fight Club)
ZH quotes their sources extensively, and provides LINKS to the original information. If you think that they have edited and presented the original information unfairly, all you have to do is CLICK ON THE LINK AND READ THE ORIGINAL IN FULL.
I mean.... how hard can that be?? Too hard for you??
Yes, they editorialize. Sometimes, their analysis points out connections I haven't seen before. Usually, I skip over entire pages of headlines because it's just so much blah-blah-blah. Yanno, like MOST new outlets! Typically, I'm following a specific storyline ... like the brewing war between Saudi Arabia + Israel against Lebanon + Iran.
Do you think I just swallow whole whatever ZH spits out? Sorry, that's YOUR MO, not mine.
ZH, like ALL news outlets, has a bias. If you read enough from different sources, eventually you suss out the spin of each source. That way, you can home in on the truth.

Yeah OK. The both of you are not worth any more of my time. I have enough. I created this thread so I can revisit it. Then cut and past if I want, what I want, to your future posts SIG when you or anyone else sources zero hedge.
Bye for now

Trolling AGAIN, comrade troll? Do they pay you by the word now?
HAS IT NOT OCCURRED TO YOU BY NOW THAT IF YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO LOGICAL FALLACIES AND TROLLING YOUR SO-CALLED ARGUMENTS ARE LIES?

Not by the word, but by the gif, because he has nothing to say.
Do you recall what Truman Capote said when Normal Mailer threw a drink in his face and punched him?
"Once again, words failed him."
Meee-oow!

So now that we have a brief vacation from THUGGER, the Stupid Troll ...
I have to say he's remarkably CONSISTENT at being a troll. It's like he had lessons or something. And though he may be stupid, being a troll seems to be in his nature. No wonder he could actually learn something about trollishness. Like a duck to water, as they say.

I found THIS interesting tidbit when I was researching Saudi Arabia:
THUGR, GSTRING, KRAPO - who owns Twitter, Citigroup and Newsgroup? Until just a few days ago, Waleed bin Talal, an extremely wealthy Saudi Arabian with close ties to the Democratic party.

All sounds like catnip to kiki and Siggy.

These two are attracted to zero hedge like flys to shit. They've certainly whipped themselves into a frenzy defending it as a legitimate source for news. Even though it can't be done.
I'll be reminding them of this as they source it in other threads going forward.

Yeah, good thread THGRRI. A thread discussing sources, in particular blogs, is something I was considering myself. Siggy's defense of Zerohedge as a source sounds like she's put a lot of thought into it, but is still thoroughly unconvincing.

I'll continue to post from ZH, and ... for those who are too stupid or lazy or propagandized to follow links, I'll post links to the original articles, too.
Then you get whine all you want how the WSJ or the BBC or Reuters or al Jazeera of The Hill or HuffPo or WaPo aren't "real" news sources, and continue to look like the fools that you area.
