Vice blocked news stories that could offend Saudi Arabia, insiders say

Exclusive: Media company recently signed lucrative deal with Saudi government-controlled MBC Group

Remember when you could count on vice to have a spine?

Just a bunch of jokers now.

They’ve been a joke for years. Their best reporters left or got promoted out of the picture. Once Shane stopped going out on reports and Ben left, they were done.
I honestly don’t remember that.
The early days were fantastic. Shane had some solid stories around NK.
The “early days” of Vice is a shitty hipster magazine full of snarky insults about random people’s clothes.
