ZH, circa 8 years ago was half decent, lots of conspiracy nonsense but also lots of market rumours, since then it has become a Russian propaganda page full of nonsense.
Which is fair enough I suppose, but at least be honest about it.
I read ZH sometimes. They also don't spend much time criticising Iceland. You seem to be assuming they should share the same obsession with Russia as much of the rest of the mainstream media, but their different set of obsessions is rather what makes them useful as an outlet.

> By his own account, Lokey was writing as many as fifteen posts a day, among them most of the political pieces. The gig had a certain formula, he told Bloomberg: “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry= dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.” For Zero Hedge, Syria was a special obsession, a sign of the essential strength of authoritarian regimes and the weakness of democracies.
ZH says he's a disgruntled employee, but there's at least some evidence it's more than "they hate everyone".
I mean, honestly: "The Sinister Choreography Of The MH17 Probe To Smear Russia" https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-31/sinister-choreogra...
In that particular situation, both sides were total propaganda and Syria was the grayest of gray areas. I like to think I'm not the only one who read both extremes of the reporting with a filter and arrived at my own conclusion.
If you want contrarian market opinion, just stick a post-it that says "the market is going to crash" to your screen and eventually it'll be right - just like ZeroHedge.
