F rom Wikipedia:
“Zero Hedge was founded in January 2009. [1] Posts are signed “Tyler Durden,” a character in the Chuck Palahniuk book and movie Fight Club, [2] reflecting the blog’s activist posture. [1] Despite speculation that “Tyler Durden” is a pseudonym of Daniel Ivandjiiski, [2] [3] Ivandjiiski denies being a founder of Zero Hedge. Rather, he says he is one of several writers contributing to the site under the pseudonym. [4] In an interview, “Durden” said there were four contributors to Zero Hedge [1] but another contributor says there are up to 40. [note 1] [2] Contributors have experience in various areas of finance and operations, differing from journalists who become experts about finance as they write about it, but have no practical work experience in the sector. [1] The blog is anonymous to protect the contributors from retaliation for dissident speech. [1] Durden maintains this protects its integrity, objectivity and independence, as well. Durden cites the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and a 1995 U.S. Supreme Court case, McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, [1] which upheld anonymity as a right of free speech.

I think the Zero Hedge blog can vary from junk to very interesting. However, how would their readers ever know what is right? Quantity is not Quality. It also seems they post from various newsletter writers of dubious quality. |
