People consider Vice Media journalists? These are the guys that tour North Korea and hunt pigs in Chernobyl. Taking money from Saudi royalty is one hundred percent on-brand for them. You watch Vice because they'll tell you about crazy stuff nobody else will, not because you need an unbiased news source.
- cf141q5325 5y agoVice news has (or had?) some actual journalists. They hired Ben Anderson whos Afghanistan and Iraq reporting was really impressive. Especially "This is what winning looks like". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja5Q75hf6QI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja5Q75hf6QI If i recall correctly he made the footage when embedded via the BBC and (re)published it on vice? Still incredibly impressed of the footage he managed to shoot as an embedded journalists. I would guess in no small parts due to the integrity of Major Bill Steuber. Unfortunately that seems to have cost him his military career. He is now a security guard in Manhattan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3y8fqJt2cU&t=1360s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3y8fqJt2cU&t=1360s Afterwards Anderson mentioned the required style of reporting at Vice negatively (the camera focusing on his reactions) but he stayed with them for a while. Not sure if he is still associated with them. edit: Fixed timestamp & He left vice last year https://twitter.com/benjohnanderson/status/1427313721043521540?s=20 https://twitter.com/benjohnanderson/status/14273137210435215...
