They tried to say they were in contact with family members. It was a lie they weren’t. LOL an “editorial” oversight my ass. You don’t accidentally photoshop smiles on people.
Yeah remember the boorish beanie boy who once worked there? His former employer is a recurring topic in his videos. Lately he posted his eulogy of VICE, bemoaning the loss of its edginess as it has degraded itself to a woke cookie cutter corporate media outlet just like every other one.
Zero excuse for what they did here. This is on par with photoshopping all the undesirables & uncooperatives who were forced into cattle cars as though they were getting on a cruise ship for a vacation.
This is the blessing & the curse we live in right now. We can see what’s going on, who’s involved, & understand it better than we have our whole lives. But, we’re realizing how deep, wide, & absolutely sick it all is & are adjusting to that understanding at the same time. We’re shocked, but we’re not in shock. We’ve got this.
If it didn't meet the standards of vice, why was it approved and published?
It was approved and published, therefore it meets their standards. The whole "It doesn't meet our standards" is to cover it up and not take responsibility.
It's really like patting yourself on the back after fucking up.
"yes sir unfortunately the car I racked up an hour ago cuasing thousands of dollars in damages and almost killing Jimmy. But I am really good at putting cars in the air sir, probably the best in the shop, that certainly isn't the kind of failure I make. I will investigate how it happened and make sure it doesn't happen again sir. "
BULLSEYE! IT IS A PATHETIC EXCUSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT.
I SEE THIS SORT OF THING WITH THE ENGINEERS THAT WORK UNDER ME ALL TIME. "WHY IS THIS FLOWMETER SIZED INCORRECTLY? -OH WELL PROCESS MUST HAVE CHANGED THE FLOW RATE." HE KNOWS ITS BULLSHIT, I KNOW ITS BULLSHIT, BUT HE ALSO KNOWS THAT I CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE BULLSHIT SO WE PLAY THIS GAME UNTIL HE GETS TIRED OF ANNUAL REVIEWS WITH NO RAISE AND QUITS.
AMP is a cucked google thing, don't like to that trash if you value your privacy. And you should, because Google is full of cucks who are up to no good.
Directly linking to their trash heaps is arguably just as bad.
The best thing to do is to use archive.org.
Not only do you not give them a single click, you also make sure to have a (for now) permanent record in case they edit, remove or block access.
Useing an add blocker when you go to pages of companies you don't like doesn't effect that companies bottom line. They get add revenue based on the pages traffic, not weather or not you watched or looked at an add. If yoh use an add blocker they will still see that you went to the site and assume you saw the adds, and still get paid for your traffic.
The only thing that using the blocker does is keep you from being annoyed of yoh are annoyed by adds.
There is actually an add-on for Firefox (I use WaterFox) that does this for you with just a click. It's called Archive Page. It is also available for Chromium forks.
No, not good on them. If they were good then it never would have happened in the first place. How many people ever see the retractions? That’s the retraction game they’re playing.
Vice tries to explain:
See wut happened was...

Vice has been full of shit for a long time.

This is known to be true.
It’s literally day one of journalism school not to photoshop shit like that
You don't need to be in journalism school to know not to do that shit.
You have to go to journalism school to learn to do shit like that
Journalists don’t have common sense, so they have to be spoonfed everything
WHAT? you mean that I can't just photoshop happy faces to the people in Gulags to show how happy they were!!! IMPOSSIBLE!
It's incredibly easy to tell which companies have been compromised by commies.

JFC if I had a dollar for every time I've heard a liberal say this.
Muh glitches in the algorithms & such!
The oversight was being caught, they'll be sure to try harder next time
No need for anything more than a congressional media soundbite fest for donation letters, then. All’s well.
THEY SAID IT DOESNT MEET THE STANDARDS OF VICE. I SAY BULLSHIT. THIS IS THE STANDARDS OF VICE.
If they published it, then it not only met the standards of Vice, it set them.
If it didn't meet the standards of vice, why was it approved and published?

This should really be used more, not just for garbage news sites but also twitter and the like.
Good point. I happen to use ad blockers so I'm just wasting Vice's bandwidth when I visit, but not everyone has that configured so archives are good.

Question remains. Why are you still using woke piece o shit Firefox?
I was following this yesterday. Good on Vice to remove it.
Yeah, good on Vice for publishing it, getting busted, and then scrubbing it.
Which they only did because they were caught.
No, not good on them. If they were good then it never would have happened in the first place. How many people ever see the retractions? That’s the retraction game they’re playing.
