I'm sorry, but legitimizing conspiracy blogs is not the answer here.
>the day Lokey left Zero Hedge—their relationship had deteriorated significantly, according to the messages provided by Ivandjiiski.
“I can’t be a 24-hour cheerleader for Hezbollah, Moscow, Tehran, Beijing, and Trump anymore. It’ s wrong. Period. I know it gets you views now, but it will kill your brand over the long run,” Lokey texted Ivandjiiski. “This isn’t a revolution. It’s a joke.”

As an American, I really can't support the promotion of an often-explicitly anti-American blog that has a tenuous relationship with the actual facts.

As a non American, I can fully support the promotion of counterviews on Hezbollah, Moscow, Tehran, Beijing, and Trump (and other places, like Latin American) than the ones played by official American media, which is no better than the never ending "our country, right or wrong" at best, and openly lying or uncritically republishing "WMDs" to sponsor some new war at worse.
