christiank7 I gave it 2 because the show actually has some descent photography but the rest of the show is a paid for propaganda stunt and so intentionally misleading and aimed at people's emotions that one can only see it as a liberal lie fest. Sure they tackle some serious aspects of modern life but they tackle like little girls on a major rugby international. What possesses people to make this sort of stuff? Very simple answers. 1. Money - typically funded from unknown backrooms for the benefit of maintaining the scare tactics that liberals need to propagate to win in politics. This show is all about making Americans feel guilty and to blame it all on the Americans who are of course not the Democrats but the very evil Republicans. This show is so transparent it made my 14 year old daughter ask me.. Dad? WHY are they never asking opinions from people who disagree with them? Good question me thinks. Listen people - this show is garbage. 2. The second reason is that the climate change industry requires people to feel the fear of catastrophes about to happen so they can stay in existence. The scientific community is seriously split about this stuff and saying that all scientists who disagree must be in the pocket of the evil big business is just stupid. I belong to this scientific community and although my area of interest is not related to climate change many of my colleagues are and to a person they are extremely worried that the debate has been hijacked by liberal politics and those problems that we all agree do exist are not going to get dealt with because although the Democrats make a lot of noise they DO NOTHING just like the fool on the hill has done nothing for 6 years. Wise up people. The democrats and their minders are snake oil salesmen and not interested in anything but power. Good luck with that. Please grow the frack up. So it is a ploy to maintain the fear. Democrats require a scared and emotionally upset electorate to win. Rational thinking is not on their agenda. So please all you very stupid liberals vote for Hillary and then please go down with the sinking ship because that is exactly what Obama has started. Now to finish off I would like to mention that the people doing the presenting are about the worst I have ever seen for a show that says it is a information based hard hitting journalistic one. Yikes people. This is a joke. Not one of these anchor people has anything between their ears and certainly are spinning the lies they are given by their masters (whoever they really are????). It is as rigged as world championship wrestling. Get a grip on reality people and do not watch this garbage.
Redds1324 And that's all that matters. If you like watching the news to see how crazy the next iPhone lines are, then watch fox news. If you want the truth, Vice will bring it to you. My only complaint is that vice isn't on TV every night, bringing us what we should know right here in our own country. Maybe the creators of vice can create a brand new "newsroom" type station instead of the local broadcrapping,I mean broadcasting that we are force fed every night. When America wakes up and starts feeding us the truth, more problems will inevitably be solved. Republicans are the worst at broadcasting, hence fox news, but even CNN and the local satin are full of crap. When will news stations start giving us what we truly want to watch?
Boyd van Oosterhout There are two kinds of programs on T.V. at any given moment. Entertainment: which tends to either dumb down, or completely distort reality. And News: which is painted so objective and distant it gives no clues about the human motivation behind it all.Vice is nothing like anything I've ever watched. It's a documentary of the extremes in the world as they are now, and they aren't pretty. It's not so much objective as it is honest.You get a glimpse of how it's really like living in places and situations they make movies about. Suddenly Afghanistan, China, rebellious Europe, and small-town USA aren't mystical places where things are completely backwards. It's just people who live in circumstances that are impossible. Circumstances where you and I would do exactly the same things as they are, if we didn't know how things could be.What I love most about this show, is the rawness. It's not trying to be a piece of art. It's not trying to spoon-feed you with their view. It's just trying to show you how it is.It's refreshing.
malicenbandarlnd If you don't think that seeing video of the decapitated head of a teenage suicide bomber doesn't alter your view of reality you should really give this a look. Yes, the graphic imagery not allowed on traditional news networks is...shattering...(that's the only word i can think of). However, the real reason to watch this show is that it's the new front of investigative journalism. Real people going into real situations instead of repeating, and re-repeating AP news-wire bullet points. Or worse, spending hours reading tweets on a channel that's supposed to be 24/7 news. No i don't care about CatLov3r69's opinion on the scientific applications of stem cell research.In addition, if you have ever written for a newspaper, even a school newspaper or taken a journalism class or have common sense you know that the only good way to tell a story is to tell both sides. We don't see that in news much these days. Nobody is making an effort to track down lieutenants of Taliban for a non-pixlized interview. These people are. Granted i'm only one episode in but if the rest of them are as interesting/sad/involved as the first one, I'm really looking forward to it. It shows people as people; complicated and confused.
