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.”

Zero Hedge is cr@p.
and so what?
Is there still a 1st amendment in this country?
Will they start to seize websites next?
I think we should expect logging in to FR someday soon and being greeted by the FBI banner.
Oddly enough, i see ZH articles on FR weekly.
Zero Hedge is “conservative”, who knew?
I guess anyone who isn’t a globalist woke liberal is now deemed “conservative”.
Oh, and peaceful trucker protesters are “terrorists”.
Great point.
Zero Hedge denied the claims and said it tries to “publish a wide spectrum of views that cover both sides of a given story.”

Publishing a diversity of views is apparently seen as a threat to the regime.
Probably 40-60% of Democrats under the age of 60 would shut down all conservative media in a heartbeat. They would claim that conservative sites “threaten democracy.”
I seem to recall a recent article (or video on youtube) describing how the Chinese had bought space in major newspapers to place “ads” that were designed to look like news and promote china’s posistions ie: propaganda.
I've lived in communist countries, and the US MSM propaganda machine increasingly resembles what I saw in my younger days. It merely has the face of a more happy drunk - until you cross them and their political masters.
How about allowing us to read other sources of news - and decide for ourselves?
