I like Zero Hedge because of the "Reverse Gell Mann Amnesia".
Without going into details, things I know, subjects I'm in an expert in, areas I've lived in and systems I've experienced is reported accurately by Zero Hedge, while government media and government subsidized press reports inaccuracies, blatant lies, outdated information and common ol' misconception.
Because of this I support and read Zero Hedge and I advice people to take this into account - all of them lie, the secret is finding what they lie about and what they don't care about.
- refurb 6y agoThis is actually a good point I hadn't realized until now. Zerohedge does tend to cover the contrarians and often the talk to experts. Yes, some are nuts, but many are not.

- danaris 6y agoI guess my question—knowing very little about ZeroHedge, and never having visited it—is, did they also "cover" a whole bunch of things that turned out to be false? If what they do is talk about all the things that might be coming, then it's likely they will have some pretty good hits. The coronavirus trajectory was certainly much more predictable than you would have guessed from the way the US, in particular, handled and reported on it, so the fact that they were able to get out ahead of that just means they weren't believing everyone else's groupthink. That can have value, but it doesn't mean they're immune from bad predictions...
