Yet, right in the middle of this Vice article when I loaded it, is a video ad for an overpriced vodka with beautiful model staring back at you and making eyes with the camera.
(The point is: don't act all high and mighty about companies using models to sucker you into buying stuff when you're doing it yourself. I reloaded the page and now it's a semi-famous DJ talking. Strike two.)

Do you have the same critique for traditional news outlets? Furthermore, could you highlight the part or parts in the article that struck you as having a 'high-horse' tone? Seemed more like a statement of facts (as known) and events, and a critique of poor planning to me. You know, reporting.
