    A warning that vice media isn’t to be trusted: it was founded by gavin mcinnes, ya know, the US hipster white supremacist who founded the proud boys, and for most of its history is owned by rupert murdoch, and disney.

    They push a pro-US foreign policy by interviewing a small number of kooks in these countries, and packaging it in a hipster way that’s appealing to younger ppl (like that time they interviewed reactionary rich venezuelans and painted them as the whole population), and ignore the masses. The top comment on this video suggests they did the same to Crimea.

    Its best to think of vice as millenial and genz fox news.

        Wikipedia dissallows leftist sources, they even explicitly banned the one I linked. See here, for example the executive director of the wikimedia foundation, katherine maher, worked for US-gov entities that carry out regime changeg, like the atlantic council and national endowment for democracy.

        And its dominated by a small number of full-time pro-US editors ( the first part of that article gets into it ). Wikipedia isn’t reliable when it comes to political topics.

          Off the top of my head, they allow wsws as a source. There is a list of allowed sources, but can’t remember what the page is called. I think jacobin was banned.
