>> "Bloomberg LP competes with Zero Hedge in providing financial news and information." Translation: "Yes, we're attacking the competition." _____ Reply-To-Comments-Below: All editors make choices, and to me, this was the wrong choice. All this does in validate ZeroHedge is a threat and makes Bloomberg look like a wannabe thug. Beyond that, appears ZeroHedge made something of this disclaimer too: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-29/full-story-behind-bloombergs-attempt-unmask-zero-hedge http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-29/full-story-behind-b...

anything wrong with that?

  Well, it's fair to take issue with the idea that ZH provides any information whatsoever, but I get the feeling that that's not what the parent commenter is upset about.

    Creative you are, and you're right, idea that Bloomberg would feel they're a competitor to ZH is a joke.

Plus it competes in the sense that an elephant competes with a squirrel for food.

I mean, I think it would have been fine not to include a disclaimer at all; you'd have to be an idiot not to realize that. But what is wrong with this one? Or do you just want them to pretend nobody else exists?
