Maybe you clicked on this article because you adore VICE already, and you just want to compare this list to your own opinions. Maybe you first heard of VICE in August, during the Charlottesville white supremacist riots.
They are that "little" network--they are actually a $2.5 billion company, that was the only team to be reporting on the white supremacist "demonstrations" planned for that weekend. VICE was the team on the scene that shot the footage that was seen across television sets and computers, playing on other news networks for weeks after the riots and murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville. If you have not seen this footage yet, you need to. It is incredibly important for everyone to be aware and knowledgeable about the rise of the Alt-Right--better known as Nazis, both in our own country and globally.
