No, first I think you like the fake news ZH posts that you re-post here. And second, no again. I don't think you've read Bloomberg regarding this prior to me posting it here.
What I'd point out is that you continue to use ZH as a source despite knowing about them. That Sig, says it all. It proves you're here to troll and that you don't care about truth.

I "know" that they're a NEWS AGGREGATOR.
I "know" that they post LINKS to their sources of information (links which you're either too lazy or too stupid to follow up on).
I "know" that they get their news from a worldwide network of sources, large and small.
I "know" that they get their news up FAST. If I want to keep up with the news quickly, I check in with them.
I "know" that they tend to focus on financialism; their original focus was "the markets" and they did some original investigation and reporting on market fixing, like "banging the bell".
I "know" that they tend to be apocalyptic in their outlook. With them, it's the end of the real estate bubble ... the end of the stock markets ... the end of the dollar ... the end of society ... the end of the WORLD!!!
"Knowing" all that, I ignore MOST of what ZH puts up, and I have advised anyone who uses ZH as a source to put their shitscreen firmly in place before they go swimming.
But I would advise that of ANY source, whether it's the NYT or MSNBC or RT or ZH or AsiaTimes because every source is biased, and some of the biggest whoppers have been sourced in the most mainstream and prestigious of sources.
Yanno, it seems like such a SIMPLE lesson, but one that you refuse to learn: DON'T TRUST ANY SOURCE. They aren't your mommy and daddy, looking out for your welfare. And yet, you willingly put your faith in them to do your thinking for you!

Below are the names of those behind zero hedge. Don't miss what I've highlighted in red below. This folks is why comrade troll SIG loves to quote zero hedge.
In addition, Lokey said he faced constant pressure to frame stories in-line with a particular world-view, which he described as “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry=dunce. Vladmir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.”
All of this matches SIG's playbook here and Putin's globally; exactly.
The men behind zero hedge
Colin Lokey, a 32-year-old former Seeking Alpha director
Daniel Ivandjiiski, a 37-year-old Bulgarian-born former hedge fund employee who was barred for insider trading in 2008
Tim Backshall, a 45-year-old credit derivatives strategist
Despite its populist tone, Lokey told Bloomberg he recently left Zero Hedge because he didn’t see eye-to-eye with the others when it came to editorial vision.
“Zero Hedge ceased to serve that public service years ago,” Lokey said. “They care what generates page views. Clicks. Money.”

Lokey claims Zero Hedge’s focus on traffic and revenue is hypocritical, but Ivandjiiski sees things differently.
Finally, Zero Hedge addressed the accusations of systematic bias in its content.
“We are certainly ok with being the object of other’s conspiracy theories, in this case completely false ones since we have never been in contact with anyone in Russia, or the US, or any government for that matter,” Zero Hedge says.
The site claims it has never accepted a dime of funding outside of advertising revenue and that Lokey was never pressured about how to frame his articles or editorialized.

According to the Bloomberg article, three men have been churning out all of the content at Zero Hedge, using the joint pseudonym “Tyler Durden” from the Brad Pitt film “Fight Club.” The 1999 cult film, according to Rolling Stone, is “about being young, male and powerless against the pacifying drug of consumerism. It’s about solitude, despair and bottled-up rage.” That ethos is frequently on display at Zero Hedge.
The three “Tyler Durdens” outed by Bloomberg reporters are Colin Lokey, who has now left Zero Hedge in a fit of pique and is responsible for handing over the internal chat sessions from Zero Hedge on traffic-building strategies and other matters. Bloomberg says “the other two men are Daniel Ivandjiiski, 37, the Bulgarian-born former analyst long reputed to be behind the site, and Tim Backshall, 45, a well-known credit derivatives strategist.”
The article notes that “Ivandjiiski has a multimillion-dollar mansion in Mahwah, N.J., and Backshall lives in a plush San Francisco suburb,” suggesting these are “not exactly reflections” of the anti-capitalism reflected in the moniker “Tyler Durden.”
