The main message of ZH is that the western finance system is utterly corrupt and broken all the way to the core.

Are you saying they are wrong Mr. Smith?

ZH also tends to be faster and report financial events with less respect to the players than the main stream media.

Are you saying that deference in reporting on the financial industry is a good thing Mr. Smith?

If I have any criticism of ZH it is that some of it's correspondents have not taken account of Krugmans dictum: "Economics is not a morality play" and hence opine about "sound money", "fiat currency" and the like.

The occasional advertisement inherent in some posts (eg: "Buy my newsletter") is simply the price one pays to read many good opinion pieces.

I also note that, unlike ZH, I can't find a single word on your website Mr. Smith, that alludes to the recently exposed corruption of LIBOR and its ground shattering implications. However since the British financial press, of which you are part, are subservient to a fault to the powers that be in Britain, this is not surprising.

To put that another way, I find your attack on ZH to be gratuitous and wrong in fact.
