ZeroHedge
ZeroHedge identifies ABC Media, Ltd. as its owner and data controller. Its public pages do not identify ABC Media's beneficial shareholders, so ultimate control remains unresolved.
Naming an immediate legal owner is not the same as proving who ultimately controls a private company. Gen Us leaves that last link open.

What Gen Us observed
This is a sample of analyzed stories, not a permanent rating of every article the outlet publishes.
Ownership is evidence of control structure, not proof of editorial causation.
To claim that an owner changed coverage, Gen Us requires separate evidence tied to a decision, communication, policy, or documented intervention. That distinction is the point of this database.
