There's a significant difference between Vice and the publications (like the NY Times) that PG refers to in his article:
Vice has a POLICY of taking money from companies in exchange for allowing editorial control. As in, they encourage and have acknowledged this practice. They represent a strange, blurry hybrid between an ad agency and a news outlet.
- fyi80 13y agoCheck out the real estate section of your local newspaper. It has a long and glorious tradition.
- skinnymuch 13y agoMakes me prefer Vice. It seems worse and obviously deceptive to routinely do what is mentioned in the article and yet have no policy or anything for it. As if that makes it less wrong (the opposite in my opinion).
