> why you consider a news site dangerous is beyond me

I consider Zero Hedge a "dangerous" website. That doesn't mean "dangerous" as in a physical or financial threat. It means "dangerous" as in after I read anything there, I expect to be--on average--less informed than when I entered.

Thanks for explaining me there ! Do note I have focused on the news organization and not the article. This article is fine as a standalone. However, there is this eery consistency in the stand wire.in takes, on discussions. This I find dangerous for a press organization. Since it is not a news organization but a propaganda organization. When I think of a news organization, I expect good investigative journalism, many details which makes the reader informed to take decisions. This technically means wire.in is a lie for a news organization. I do like the comparison with zerohedge. There are many similarities, except zero hedge being bearish, grim and hateful is not hidden in its marketing.

I can confirm with proof that they spread incorrect information and will not fix it even if you bring it to their notice. i.e. Fake News propagator.

In this part of Asia, "dangerous" is code for "troublemaker", i.e. anyone who tries to challenge the state-sanctioned message. I think it's a sino-ism.
