How MGTOW views Vice
What it pretends to be: a online "independent" * media company that does "journalism" ... whatever THAT means.
What it really is: yet another (*yawn*) fully SJW converged marketing/propaganda tool -- aka "fake news" -- push-promoting the globalist-corporatist shill agenda (consumerism, feminism, socialism, etc) down onto "proles" (including Vice's own grunt-level employees who are just "useful fools").. albeit in an faux "edgy" and "kewl" manner (i.e. candy coating the agenda so that the prole-fools find it "tasty"). To wit:
Vice has had "franchises that were underwritten by sponsors - that's our goal, to get a lot of our news franchises and stories and reports sponsored by advertisers. It's kind of the way news used to be in the fifties: 'Brought to you by Gillette' or whatever it was. We love that model."[151]
'Nuff said.
* Independent my arse, to wit:
Vice Media LLC
Owner
Shane Smith (20%)
The Walt Disney Company (11%)
A&E Networks (20%) **
TPG Capital ***
Fox ****
** A&E is a "subsidiary" jointly/fully owned by Disney (50%) and Hearst Communications (50%)
*** AFAIK, no one is entirely certain WHO all of the "investors" are in TPG Capital.
**** For all practical purposes "Fox" is now "Disney" as well (will be soon enough that they're already "colluding" at least implicitly if not explicitly).
Point is...
Don't be fooled by their "edgy" facade into thinking that "Vice" is any different than any other NPC mainstream media "fake news/faux journalism" -- they literally may as well be ABC (which is BTW also owned by Disney Corp) or CNN, or "whatever" (ownership of the media companies is so incestuous these days they are essentially a singular monolithic entity).
EDIT: And by the way, regarding TPG Capital when I say "no one is entirely certain" who all owns/invests in that, I do literally mean NO ONE knows; there are SO MANY different levels of shell companies, so called "partnerships" & subsidiaries & joint holdings, and funds, and funds of funds, etc... that no one -- not the other investors, not even the founding/controlling "partners" can be entirely certain exactly WHO they are all "in bed with" (could be part of YOUR pension fund, could be George Soros, could be the Chinese Government) -- in part because NO ONE CARES... they're ALL just "seeking alpha" (which of course is how THEY all will end up being duped/fucked in the long run as well -- even Disney corp {at least in terms of the common people shareholders -- whether directly or indirectly via pensions or mutual funds} will eventually be FUCKED by this shit).
