Most purely-political sites are banned on HN because pure politics are off topic here. zerohedge.com has been in that category here since August 2010. That doesn't mean it's a bad site or (heaven forbid) that we disagree with it. It just means it's reliably a source of off-topic content for HN, as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

If you think an article there is particularly substantive you're welcome to email [e-mail] and ask us to take a look, but please distinguish between particularly substantive and particularly good at riling up the reader. Sites that specialize in the latter are just what we don't want on HN, regardless of their politics.

If the story itself is important but the article not particularly substantive (or at least not enough to justify unbanning an entire site), I'm sure you can find another article reporting on the same thing.
