    I remember when Vice was “bleeding-edge-unwavering-unapologetic-raw-insert-other-catchy-adjective news! The stories no one else has the genitals to cover!”

    I never personally thought that but I’m pretty sure that’s what they wanted other people to think.

      I remember when Vice didn’t even pretend to be news. They were just a free edgelord lifestyle magazine. Those were the days.

        I still thought that. No idea they were ever considered a legitimate news medium.

          I didn’t mean to imply they were ever a legitimate news medium. I’m just saying originally they didn’t even pretend to be news.
