Best thing you can do is just not read it to lower their traffic/clicks/ad revenue.
This kind of website epitomizes why discerning what is fake news is difficult but in essence the theme of the site it to take “facts” and push an agenda in a particular manner rather than showing any balance. Somewhat comparable with “Fox News” saying “Fair and Balanced”, when 70-80% of the coverage is center right and the center left coverage is done in a halfhearted/weak way.[/quote]
Unfortunately, there are precious few media outlets that offer an objective perspective on news and current events. That’s why people need to be familiar with all of the relevant facts, along with the various perspectives, so that they can piece things together for themselves.
Just my 2 cents, but I’ve not seen any “fake news” on Zero Hedge. I’m not a regular reader, but I’ve been reading posts and comments there, off and on, for quite a few years; I’ve yet to see them promote a story that had no basis in reality (though I admit to not reading the majority of their work).
I’ve seen far more “fake news” and propaganda on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc. At the very least, ZH is willing to post stories — real stories — that are not being covered in the MSM. That in itself is reason enough to keep ZH as one of many alternative news sources.
