Though I (mostly) agree with your rant about Vice, it can easily be applied to every MSM outlet.

I'm certain that you are more discerning than most. Modding for a media analysis sub, and all. Unfortunately, most people don't have time to spend thinking about what they're being shown, and the framing of the info.

Vice is diabolical enough to mislead the public by being perceived as hipster, and rebelling against the system. They rock beards, trendy clothing, smoke weed, interview drug users, etc.

This fools most people into assuming that they are more honest and hard-hitting in their journalistic approach.

They went over the top by reportedly being "imbedded with ISIS", which reinforces the theory that ISIS a CIA/State Dept operation. That's the modern media equivalent of astronauts supposedly playing golf "on the moon".

Vice News: A "liberal" version of Alex Jones.

Controlled opposition at it's finest.
