GeneticBlueprint Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I liked Vice News Tonight. But it never should have been on a premium cable channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaxick Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 That's unfortunate, Vice had some wonderful programming on HBO. Now the only outside news agency on HBO is Axios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 From the beginning vice struck me as a bunch of 20 and 30 somethings that wanted to live a life of adventure by using the real plights of others to live out their dreams. It felt falsely self righteous and lamely edgy from the get go. Today is a good day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always severely disliked Vice as a whole for what I perceived to be essentially smug Startup Bro virtue-signaling sold as product. Their self-aggrandizing bullshit is off the charts. I feel oddly vindicated right now even if this doesn't have shit to do with me Spoiler I dislike using the term virtue-signaling at this point but if the glove fits... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
