Now that Vice went bad, are there any similar outlets to it?
One small upcoming one is Popular Front, but they seem to have a stronger focus on conflict reporting and the subcultures associated with it. Seems to be a Vice News for Gen Z.
I'm fairly sure the Guardian were accused of toning down human rights stories about one country (I think like Bahrain or Oman or Qatar maybe?) as they were running an advertising supplement for their tourism board. It was covered in Private Eye so I don't know if the article will be available online. So if I'm remembering that correctly, the Guardian have got a bit of a cheek here.
They were also raided by uk intelligence after the snowden stuff, and are no longer independant. Never donate to them or even use the links - use the archive.is links .
