Vice had the best extremism coverage going. A very deep loss. America is about to face the fascist takeover without much of a way for people to reliably find out about it.

Journalists need to collectively take back reporting. No filters, no lies, no speculation, no politics, no bias or whitewashing. Report the truth.

"without much of a way for people to reliably find out about it"... isn't that the point? if we're cut off, we can't mount a defense until it's too late. I don't think it's hysteria to think this way.

Wasn't it a Vice reporter who followed some domestic terrorist gangs all the way to J6 and did some excellent reporting on them?

Anyway. Execs paid themselves handsomely as they were cutting jobs.

Vice did a lot of cringe worthy shit (as well as some stuff on US foreign affairs that felt like written by the alphabet boys), but also did a lot of reporting "serious" outlets wouldn't touch. How management fucked up this badly would probably be one of those articles, ironically.

Also why major social media sites have been intentionally burying news posts if they mention certain subjects that they don’t want the public to know about. Hence having to censor certain words about the Gaza genocide.

This. You're sadly right. I think you and me and a few dozen others even care, let alone recognize the horrors to come. Vice for sure was a great resource. The candles of the republic are blowing out all around us

ok cool but if it wasn't for vice we wouldn't have had Gavin McInnes & his proud boys or the rise of apathetic edgelordism which provided the space for the new fash to rise in. Also used to know the editorial staff at vice London who were the worst upper class nihilist egomaniac coke heads possible

I wish Americans read (or watched) more international news. I promise the death of American democracy is being covered in detail. CBC News (that's the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) has a story about it almost every night. So does The Guardian. So does...well, everyone in every democracy.
