When did that happen? I remember when Rupert bought in. It turned to shit over night. Funny Rupert and George owning the same company in context of all this Fox News bs show going on.

the money is simply not there to float this kind of shit anymore. same goes for a lot of stuff that was kept alive despite barely having an audience over these last three or so years. vice is just one of the most egregiously worthless ones so its going first.

anyways, the NYT report says they're looking at 5 buyers right now. I wonder who that could be? Is this a "bankruptcy" leak to put pressure on those buyers?

who cares what they needed. vice was always a catty feminine magazine fashion dos and donts etc. they lucked out a few times when shane smith went on benders and managed to shit out a few good documentaries but aside from that it was always a hipster rag

I used to watch it five to ten years ago when they would go to exotic locations and cover dangerous shit and cool shit in other cultures. But at some point they turned up the Tranny propaganda dial to 11 from a previous 6 and my interest waned. The nail in the coffin was when they went full vaccine apologist in 2021 and 2022, I completely tuned out.

but the billion dollar valuation was due to it being the "cool" media org, Gavin really steered it towards being "cool" with his ballsy punkish roots, after he left its slowly turned into any other media org except even more poorly run and funded

Early vice was fantastic. Shane went to North Korea, tracked down war lords in Liberia, those gonzo docs were unbelievable.

nothing they did afterwards came close. Suddenly it turned to shit, like when stile project became a porn site.

You held on longer than most. I loved Vice content about 10-15 years ago but they took a woke turn after 2016 and never recovered. Post 2020 they became straight up propaganda and ruined whatever was left of the brand.
