VICE is most certainly controlled media, made to appear that it is not. |

Estella<3 (OP) User ID: 6571780 United States 03/12/2013 03:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting.... April 5th 2011 "Vice is about to get some multi-million dollar funding in the “eight-figure” range, according to a report today in the New York Times. Although no figures were released, the company has confirmed that those lining up with cash include Tom Freston, the co-founder of MTV; media conglomerate WPP; and boutique investment firm The Raine Group. The three entities will acquire seats on the board, but the company and its board will remain independently owned and controlled, Vice said in a press release issued today.

Shane Smith and his crew have been doing this for quite some time now. Well before there was a "Vice". The investigative journalism they do is as real as it gets. I can definitely see the skepticism though, and I agree the North Korea thing does raise some eyebrows, now that Vice is with HBO. However, trying to classify everything in to the "liberal" "conservative" box is doing a great disservice to our society . Why can't people just be humans and have a individual opinion on each issue. For example, the Romney documentary was a very interesting and informative piece. And in no way did it slander or hurt Mitt Romney's chances. Just feels like you are trying to hard to make a conspiracy out of nothing on this one...but I'm always open to further information being presented to ponder on. From what you have presented though I am not convinced. |
