    More Russians in the WH obviously. Any time I’ve looked at the Zerohedge site it’s been a shit ton of pro-Russia conspiracy bullshit so I assume it’s owned and operated by them.

    I think they’re Alex Jones #1 source? They can just stay home and lie about going, doesn’t matter to anyone who actually reads them.

    When Zero Hedge is in the White House press pool and the Associated Press is banned. Man.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge

    The 29 April 2016 “Unmasking Zero Hedge” article by Bloomberg quoted former website staffer Colin Lokey as saying: “I can’t be a 24-hour cheerleader for Hezbollah, Moscow, Tehran, Beijing, and Trump anymore. It’s wrong. Period. I know it gets you views now, but it will kill your brand over the long run. This isn’t a revolution. It’s a joke.” Lokey told Bloomberg that he was pressured to frame issues in a way he felt was “disingenuous”, summarizing its political stances as “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry=dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.”
