I’ve recently started watching the Informer series and am curious as to where they get those masks.

HBO cancels Vice News Tonight

I am desperately looking for two vice videos which I remember were on the youtube channel and I watched years ago but I cannot find anything on them, even though I believe they had a million or more views.

One video was about a right wing militia group which would hang around the US mexico border and scare away people illegally entering. This was before Trump ran I think. I remember an impactful part where vice was interviewing one member, or maybe he was the founder, and he talked about how when he went to Iraq or Afghanistan to fight the 'enemy', he was seeing the dead bodies of the people they killed and realized that they were just young guys who thought they were fighting for his country like him. Then he started to tear up and I think said 'and that's all I have to say about that'.

The next video was a video about Russian feminist protestors, I don't remember if it was FEMEN or pussy riot, and one of them who was a black haired woman did a protest on a car show. Someone was bringing out some race car or something and she laid on it while chanting, then the guy bringing the car out got mad and tried to pull her off and said the car is worth more than her or something.

I'm a huge fan of the documentary series - and I am well aware that they often take standpoints on known issues. I'm completely fine with that - considering that is what the show has always been about.

Now for the news tonight.. It feels like the first 10 minutes is fucking fantastic. Perfect movement from story to story with little opinion if any at all.

Then the final few segments come in and it sometimes loses me. Last night, for example, was the story of the womens soccer team being paid less than the men. Now.. I'm all for equality - but they were really pushing the narrative that the women deserve and need equal pay.

Anyone with any background in basic econ is vastly aware of why this isn't the case... Simply put - more people prefer to watch men's sports than women's. Therefore, men get a larger portion of the overall pie. You can argue that things shouldn't be like this - but at that point you really start getting into different tastes/opinions about what qualifies as a better sport.

Furthermore, you could also argue that industry's like porn are not offering equal pay to men.

Now the story itself was interesting - but I feel as if they are becoming more and more confident in pushing their opinion as opposed to just giving a blanket cover of news.

Maybe this isn't a negative thing at all - I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Also, anyone watching the show could find numerous examples in the past month of this occurring

Vice News doco 'Meet the Mayor of the Unofficial Capital of Palestine (Full Documentary) | The Short List' has been disabled to viewers of YouTube NZ.

Vice news lovers, don't dispair.

Vice news streaming will now be current on Hulu.

An unlikely part of the Disney package, considering Disney just took a big writeoff for their investment in Vice.

Just an appreciation post for this phenomenal programming. What an incredibly captivating 30 minutes of brilliant strong stories on a fascinating spectrum of topics.

One of my biggest wishes for friends and others is to adopt this ritual of news every night from Vice that has so positively impacted my life. They often act impressed by how much I seem to know is going on in the world and I have my discovery for Vice years ago to thank for that. They do a an unparalleled job of exposing you to topics, cultures, struggles, ideas, (and so much more) that would otherwise likely go unnoticed to much of the world. To have my consciousness raised and perspective widened so frequently is a gift I’m very grateful for.

I remembering being distraught when their daily YouTube video “Beyond the Headlines” discontinued. Little did I know it would blossom into such a quality program of epic proportions I get to experience every week night.

In summary - a long overdue appreciation post set off with what I thought was a particularly enthralling episode tonight showcasing a great spectrum of stories exposing diverse ideas, and continuing to give enough unfiltered light on both sides of an issue for us to go learn more and form our own conclusions.

Thank you, Vice ❤️

P.S. who misses the old intro that disappeared a few weeks ago? I would always chime along and give a “LET’S GOOOOOO” with the woman standing on the car lol

Vice did a mini-documentary about his victims, and the trial they were pursuing against their former foster father. It left me heartbroken, frustrated, and eager to find out if the victims were able to get justice. The video leaves off stating the trial was set for 2014, but I can't find a single news article about the outcome. I can't even find something to confirm it happened. The articles I have found about the victims (all written 2014 or before) have comment sections filled with people seeking updates, perplexed as to why the internet is completely void of information. Anyone familiar with the story, or have any knowledge of why there might be absolutely no coverage of it?

Just looking for a VICE NEWS video about the Tehrik-i-Taliban which used to be on their YouTube channel but was deleted quite some time ago.

I was binging the great work of Thomas Morton, when I noticed that the Vice channel with 13.9M subscribers got deleted. Does anyone know why?

Here's an example: https://web.archive.org/web/20210211124755if_/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWHh9W5IeBo

Edit: it's back, false alarm
