US Accuses Zero Hedge of Spreading Russian Propaganda - Report

Senior officials at the U.S. government are accusing financial news media outlet Zero Hedge of spreading Russian propaganda, according to the Associated Press.

The U.S. government believes that some stories published on Zero Hedge were written by people close to the Strategic Culture Foundation, a Russian think tank organization sanctioned by the Biden administration

Zero Hedge told the Associated Press that it has “no relationship” with Strategic Cultural Foundation and “furthermore this is the first time we hear someone allege that the Foundation is linked to Russian propaganda.”

“They are one of our hundreds of contributors — unlike Mainstream Media, we try to publish a wide spectrum of views that cover both sides of a given story,” Zero Hedge also said.

In addition to Zero Hedge, the U.S. government officials are also pointing fingers at two other websites for reportedly being closed to the Strategic Cultural Foundation.

“These sites enable the Russian government to secure support among the Russian and Ukrainian populations,” one official told the AP.

“This is the primary vector for how the Russian government will bolster support domestically for an invasion into Ukraine.”
