I didn't mind vice media until I watched their 'documentary' about crokodil in Russia. The whole thing was dramatized around the idea of a new horrifying, skin melting drug that was killing people. Throughout the whole thing there was one very small mention about the fact it's actually codeine with the solvents used in production improperly purged and no real mention about the flesh melting being caused by red phosphorus not being completely removed. The entire focus was on this 'new terrifying drug' when it really should have been about the abject poverty leading those desperate junkies to shooting up cheap, solvent laced opiates. The whole thing really bugged me and honestly, the attitudes of their journalists when they go into places like that is really just terrible sometimes. Though I guess it did lead me to research more on the subject and learn enough to know what a poor documentary it really was...
