It's sad that Vice turned out this way. I remember back when they were big on the investigative journalism and cracked a bunch of important incidents.
shit yeah, vice was fantastic
Before that they were a shitty, edgelord, hipster rag i used to pick up for free in NYC in the 90s. I remember when the "Dos and Don't" section was cringey borderline racist and rape jabs. I picked up the Appalachia issue expecting to read cousin fucking quips and being shocked that it was so sympathetic with no cheap shots.
I'd be willing to bet that was the result of getting rid of McInnes.
They had quite the arc
They formed 404 Media https://www.404media.co/
it's awesome, and they also have a nice rss feed and podcast, might look at subscribing
I've been seeing 404 around more often! Didn't know it was these guys
Good! Shit I really hate that Vice is having issues. Their corporate owners are really unfair about how Vice makes money, and as a fan it's been really difficult actually to get them paid, unlike say the NY Times which will tell you to pay for this that and everything just for reading 2 articles.
I miss vice news tonight, though I preferred it when it was on HBO. The 30 min format was better, I loved the musician interviews, was a great balance with the more investigative stories.
