I loved Vice for doing ridiculous fringe shit like that though. Nobody else would do it. It only went downhill when they suddenly started to pretend they’re serious now.

It went downhill when they were captured by woke college graduates in the late 2010s (similar to many left leaning news organizations)

  You mean when they were bought by NewsCorp??? https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/aug/17/rupert-murdoch-vice-magazine-stake#:~:text=7%20years%20old-,Rupert%20Murdoch%20firm%20dips%20into%20hipsters'%20bible,%2470m%20stake%20in%20Vice&text=Vice%20Media%2C%20the%20multi%2Dplatform,Rupert%20Murdoch's%2021st%20Century%20Fox https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/aug/17/rupert-murdoch....

    This is blatant misinformation. The article you linked says Murdoch bought a 5% share seven years ago, and Murdoch isn't News Corp, and 5% is not a buyout. According to Wikipedia[0], today his share is so small they don't even list a percentile, and Soros (the Right's bogeyman, to counterbalance yours) owns 10%, with the actual majority stake split between larger, uncontroversial owners. News Corp owns 0% of Vice Media. Fake news. 0: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Media https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Media

    It was founded only I think, but there was some beef with the other founder and he was bought out.
