UPDATE: The Buzzfeed blogger who got ZH banned, apparently, has a thing for young children.

UPDATE: Tyler responds.
I’m always amused by people who hate Zerohedge — because they’re not in on the joke. They don’t get it. I get it and I love Tyler for being who he is — bravely and resolutely publishing things no one else dares to take on. From exposing the banks and their HFT schemes to exposing the inner-dealings and corruptness of government officials, Zerohedge is a must read for anyone in finance or people interested in reading smart news.
If you like dumb news, written by catamites, you read Buzzfeed.
Tonight, Buzzfeed is celebrating the banning of Zerohedge on Twitter after publishing this article regarding the Coronavirus.
In the article he’s citing Dr. Ding, double Phd epidemiologist from Harvard, regarding a new study that basically equates the Wuhan virus to airborne HIV.
17. …WHOA- the authors said the finding was “Unexpectedly” related to genes from HIV virus. Notably there were 4 gene insertions (see figure in above post #16). And so, which HIV gene proteins were found in the new #coronarvirus? Gag protein and Gp120- key HIV proteins… pic.twitter.com/epN66WcObj

A source of mine at ZH believes this article by Buzzfeed led to the banning of the site’s 650,000 follower Twitter account — easily the most influential Twitter handle on Fintwit.
In the Buzzfeed “hit piece” and I place that in parenthesis because the author is too fucking dense to write an effective one, he claims ZH is a “pro-Trump blog” and “far right wing.” Wrong. Anyone who reads ZH knows he is anti-establishment and couldn’t give two fucks about Trump.
Buzzfeed gloats:
“The account was permanently suspended for violating our platform manipulation policy,” a spokesperson for Twitter told BuzzFeed News.
For me, this is a huge resource loss. Like many others in finance, I use his Twitter account as a newswire. Now I’m gonna have to be the newswire, because no one does it like ZH. Period. From what I’ve gathered — Twitter represents less than 7% of overall site traffic. If you didn’t know, ZH is a fucking monstrous site — biggest in finance.
#FREEZEROHEDGE — but I know it’s a meaningless cause. Twitter has an agenda and he simply doesn’t conform.
Fuck Twitter.

It’s you fags that live Twitter so much I’ve only been on there for flu news
AIRBORNE AIDS PAL. GET FUCKED.
That’s probably why all those asians have been passing out because lung AIDS does that
I’m shocked that anyone thinks they shouldn’t be banned!
They live on exaggerated conspiracy theories that morons seem to devour…
ZH has always been a putin asset!
And helen has always been a whore
A real dirty 2 bit one at that! LOL
LOL
Don’t you mean buzzfeed?
Helen, should you be banned from ibc because you write moronic, unproven exaggerated conspiracy theories like “ZH has always been a putin asset!”?
No you should not be banned. ‘merica used to stand for freedom to express ideas.
I ask people who say that, “did Putin trick YOU into changing your vote?” And how did he accomplish that?
Putin has zero effect on me. How could he?
At that point, they change the conversation, never answering the question. Of course, the question is so ridiculous it can’t be answered with a straight face.
Obviously Twitter is a news organization now. They are the judge and jury. It’s not a platform or public square. at all. It should be regulated as such
Jack is AWOL and has turned the reins over to whiny woke liberal fascist snowflakes of the current day.
Whiny woke “liberal” fascist snowflakes are what distract most people. But REAL established powers use these platforms to control the parameters of debate and they’re delighted by the snowflake vs redneck diversion.
Lib, conservative, Trump, Obama, gay marriage, safe spaces, make America great, whatever …we’re still pissing away our future in mid-east wars and we’re still engaged in systematic wealth transfer to the already-asset-rich.
And still mesmerized at what next the Krapdatians are peddling.
If that was true then dotard’s account would be banned as well for stoking racial animosity.
Screw market manipulators like Zerohedge or Muddy Waters. They have agendas and it’s not to report the facts. Besides. Other than Trump who uses Twatter, that site is a joke. Hoping that Tyler’s hosting provider will ban him too. Adios Zeroturd
Fly, ZH is the first thing I read every morning now that Drudge has gone left. Best political and finance news available on the Web. I agree with you! Fuck Twitter!
I know some who are outraged reading iBC.
He’s joking about certain things – you f-ing idiot.
You guys attacking Helen are HUGE FAGS and I bet you’re all GIGANTIC FUCKING PUSSIES in real life I’d punch your lights out
Heckler you’re afraid to piss next to a tranny so STFU
Heckler, I wasn’t sure if this was a joke but it’s hilarious either way. You are using the exact same insults that morons like Eric use.
If that wasn’t meant as an ironic joke, maybe you and eric should exchange contact info and fight IRL like you both claim to want to.
I remember when IBC tried to be ZH lite for awhile. SMH I wonder what ZeroPointNow is doing these days?
Here’s a reporting of the same event:
‘Mini’ Mike Bloomberg Tries Insulting Trump, Falls Short With Awkward Height Metaphor
Swing, and a miss.
Zerohedge
Bloomberg campaign calls Trump a ‘pathological liar’ with ‘fake hair,’ ‘obesity’ and ‘spray on tan’
The former mayor was responding to Trump attacking his height.
NBC
One is reporting of the facts, the other is spewing propaganda that toothless imbeciles love to hear.
If you weren’t one, you’d know the difference!
So, just to follow up on your claim – how does what you exampled prove conspiracy theories and “Putin asset”, whatever that even means in your brain? Are you not able to think for yourself and in favor of shutting down points of view you disagree with?
ZH is full of crap, often no better thatn Breitbart or Huffington Post. However, it also has the timeliness financial news and new different points of view.
It’s also ironic that while the Right is concerned about the chocies a *private company* makes about how people use their paltform, they aren’t concerned abou the the same thing applied to the the whole interent. Trump and the Republicans are almost unanimous in their support for ISP companies controlling which websites people see on their services. Once again, the Swamp wins with Trump.
Fuck ZH. Bunch of worthless fuckbois.
