“We at Vice — and I publicly apologize, Elon — used to shit on him, and I’d be like, ‘Why are you shitting on the guy? He’s great.’”
What the fuck is happening? Are we really awake or dreaming all this shit?
We’re really awake, and it’s really a horror-show. We’re learning in real-time how absolutely fucked we are as a species, and we were already in a pretty precariously fucked position already.
The amount of immediate sucking up that is happening is disgusting, but America was always willing to sell its soul for the dollar.
Once the Trump regime is in full swing, they’ll be sending the military to capture or simply extrajudicially execute any journalists that aren’t licking the boot.
I’ve been wondering if those videos I’ve been seeing on my subscription page were good or bad. Fucking sucks they’re turning that direction esepcially because they’ve done some amazing reporting on a lot of different things but the stuff that has really stuck with me is their trans reporting and this sounds like they’re taking a 180 and it’s only a matter of time before they put out a video saying something like “Here’s why trans people are dangerous”. Time to unsubscribe.
Didn’t they go bankrupt and shut down most operations years back? Oh wow not even that long. May 15th 2023 they filed for chapter 11. Seems they got a right wing sugar daddy. No worries, that’s never impacted journalism where that has happened. If you don’t count every time it’s happened.
They took money from Saudi Arabia post bankruptcy if I recall correctly.
A VC firm. Should tell you everything you need to know
Another one bites the dust huh.
This is so sad to me, they were amazing at one point. Their shows, reporting etc. How do two co-founders of such a great outlet, go bankrupt and turn into such piles of garbage.
Yeah. When Shane Smith started making his MAGA apologia videos, I was out. Vice started terrible, got good somehow, slid backward, and then dove suddenly into the trash.
Ofc Vice has always been exploitative imperial garbage.
