Zerohedge is a news aggregator that gets stories from elsewhere. It focuses on financial speculation (stocks, commodities, CRE, FX, crypto and so forth) and clickbait headlines, and has a libertarian bent. It publishes articles that you won't see in the M$M, but I scan past 90% of the headlines anyway for a variety of reasons (don't do financial speculation, heard that POV 100x already, know the author is unreliable etc.)
I have always said that since ZH publishes a lot of crap, you had better put on your shit- filters before you go wading, and double check the content.

Why SECOND'S posts are brainless: "I clocked how much time: no more than 10 minutes per day. With cut-and-paste (Ctrl C and Ctrl V) and AI, none of this takes much time."
Or, any verification or thought.

SIG pulls most of her information that she posts here from this blog and stupidly defends it as a reputable source. As she continues to do so I will regenerate this thread to remind all it is a corrupted blog designed to create havoc rather than informing.
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.”
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.”
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 Mah

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.”

ZeroHedge isn't pro-communist or anti-capitalist. It trends libertarian.

Zerohedge seems to believe in Hindu Natioanlists of India flying old Soviet rusty Migsand won't admit French lost aircraft
Pakistan get supplied by the US and Chinese, the Pakistanis have new tech from the USA and tech from China
Indian Airforce (IAF) fighter aircraft crashed
https://x.com/Jana_Shah/status/1919882329259982848
New footage posted by a local in India shows a fighter jet releasing flares before being shot down over the city of Bathinda in Punjab.
https://x.com/OSINTWarfare/status/1920124085608042767
Ejection seat of a crashed fighter jet found in Ramban, Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
This is a Russian K-36DM ejection seat, fitted in Indian Su-30MKI fighter jets and MiG-29 aircraft.
https://x.com/clashreport/status/1920096035780636979
Comparison of the fighter aircraft engine wreckage seen today morning near Bathinda, #India and publcly-available images of the M88 engine of the Dassault Rafale matches, visually confirming that an Indian Air Force Rafale was shot down
https://x.com/OSPSF/status/1920020374479044796
Local in Akhnoor talks about two Indian pilots being rescued after ejecting which makes the claim of an Su-30 being downed more probable.
https://x.com/squatsons/status/1919970020265710044
It appears the the three confirmed aircraft so far are a Raphael, Mirage 2000 and Su-30.
India starts to admit its fighter jet losses now.
https://x.com/clashreport/status/1919927894668701945
Usually I don't wade into this, but this additional angle of the mystery engine does look like it has a distinctive pattern of screws on nozzles (pic 1), consistent with M88 which powers Rafale (pic 2), rather than M53 which powers Mirage 2000 (pic 3)
