    Vice-style bemused, cosmopolitan, gawking gonzo journalism gave birth to Gavin McInnes. At its most benevolent it gives some center-left dweebus a media career, at its worst it gives quirky heterodox bigots and actual nazis a megaphone.

      Exactly, Vice's videos on Liberia and Gaza which both whitewash and cover for imperialism while having a general presentation of "WHOA THIS SHIT CRAZY BRUH" rather then real interviews with empathy for the experiences of their subjects while giving social and historical contexts's are honestly some of the most racist -and just like you typed- gawking garbage I have ever seen.
      And sadly that kind of Gonzo trash is brutally effective propaganda.
