That first sentence. Fucking hell, the hypocrisy is sickening.

The fact that they run stories on "who is the biggest pendler of fake news" right next to this is hilarious.

Seriously though, fuck sites like this. ZeroHedge is trash. First article I read from them was about how Hillary was swindling taxes and "doing the same thing Trump did" in which they apparently didn't even bother to read their own source because the very document they linked disproved their claim.

I usually only use ZH for economic news, and even then take it with a lot of skepticism since they have a habbit of doom-saying. Almost all of their articles are written under the Tyler Durden pseudonym so their content can vary wildly and there's no way to tell in advance who's writing what. There were times where you'd see pro-hillary articles next to pro-trump articles next to pro-johnson articles next to anti-everyone articles. So yeah, trash for politics and social news, but decent enough for economic stuff now and then.

Really, I just posted them since I hate having dailymail's formatting.

My post wasn't supposed to criticse you, just terrible media practices in general. Didn't mean to call you out or anything.

Regardless, I'm still not sure why you'd read a site like Zerohedge over the many better, less biased and more reputable economic and financial journals and newspapers available. I assume they might have some decent articles, but my past experiences with ZH have put it at the bottom of the pile in my eyes.

No offense taken, the tone of the article was something I noticed myself, but I found it pretty funny given the contents.

And I'm really still new to researching economic concepts (eco in general has been a low priority until recently), ZH was the first site I found about a year ago that clicked with me, but a lot of the time I haven't a clue about what's relevant. If it's not to much trouble, could you recommend some sites?
