Vice news docs in the beginning I liked because they gave uncensored translations of locals which sometimes were hilarious even when the topic was supposed to be serious, and there wasn't dubbed translations muting the local language out like every other media does. Sadly now they've taken to playing menacing background music during stories like when they interviewed some drug addict in Afghanistan who claimed to be ex Taliban and did everything including slowing down his laugh so it sounded as evil as possible. It's bordering on propagandatainment lately.
There was also a questionable story by Vice about the Nigerian military fighting militants recently and the supposedly embedded reporter made zero mention that the entire crew in the attacking helicopters they filmed in were not Nigerian. Hey why do the gunners and pilots have white arms? Are they mercenaries? British pilots? South African? Who knows Vice never bothered to tell us.
