WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials on Tuesday accused a conservative financial news website with a significant American readership of amplifying Kremlin propaganda and alleged five media outlets targeting Ukrainians have taken direction from Russian spies.

The officials said Zero Hedge, which has 1.2 million Twitter followers, published articles created by Moscow-controlled media that were then shared by outlets and people unaware of their nexus to Russian intelligence. The officials did not say whether they thought Zero Hedge knew of any links to spy agencies and did not allege direct links between the website and Russia.

Zero Hedge denied the claims and said it tries to “publish a wide spectrum of views that cover both sides of a given story.”

So what? I get a lot of my News from outlets like the BBC and France24 because, despite their god-awful liberal slant, I’m not hearing regurgitated Biden/Psaki talking-points. Am I reading British & French Intelligence? Maybe. But I have a brain and common-sense.

Zero Hedge is far more reliable than the MSM or the US “intellegence community”.

“.......critical of Biden”

In today’s USSA, criticizing Dear Leader is treasonous.

Zero Hedge is absolutely pro-Russian. The founder is Daniel Ivandjiiski, whose father was part of the Soviet controlled puppet regime in Bulgaria.

His anti-American bias may stem in part from his being barred from the securities industry for insider trading. Not sure, but he certainly despises the United States of America.
