    Vice is a leftist media outlet right? Inb4 vice isnt real news

    I would treat vice with the same amount of scrutiny as any corporate media entity such as NYT.

    Here is the ownership breakdown of Vice: Shane Smith (20%) The Walt Disney Company (16%) A&E Networks (20%) TPG Capital (44%) Soros Fund Management (10%) James Murdoch (minority stake)

    Also of note is that one of Vice's co-founders is gavin mcinnes (the founder of Proud Boys) and Bill Maher is an exec producer.

    Which is not to say it's not real news but rather it's not "leftist" in the sense that it seriously intends to challenge power/capital.
