I've always found Vice to be a sensationalist, biased media outlet. [In the past, they've based their politically-motivated conclusion on data that supports the complete opposite conclusion][0]. I'm not surprised that this title is similarly sensationalized.
EDIT: Clarified my point.

- weberc2 10y agoYour link doesn't apply here. Looks like you missed the point. :) At any rate, I changed my post to (hopefully) be more clear.
- gumby 10y agoHow is this relevant to the topic at hand? I don't mean this in a "so you shouldn't post" sense, I simply feel that you ended your post too soon: if vice is biased, and an example of an old, biased article on a very different topic supports that, how does that then demonstrate bias in this article?
- weberc2 10y agoIt doesn't demonstrate bias in this article, it demonstrates that they completely lack journalistic integrity and their content shouldn't be trusted. Sorry if the example wasn't particularly pertinent to the content of this article, it was the one that came to mind on the spot.
