ZeroHedge, over the years, has gradually veered towards posting everything, regardless of how good it is, without any editorial offset.
If you read some of the comments of the owners, I think they want to train their readership to have their brains actively engaged at all times and to use the site as a means to practice discernment. This mindset of always being in a state of combat also extends to their comments section, where they encouraged readers to make liberal use of the "ignore" feature, rather than to ban users outright. Of course de-monetiziation altered that plan to some degree.
Obviously, all that also works as a clever argument to cover for editorial laziness and lighter stewardship of the site. I still find it to be a good resource worth supporting.
