You mean quality journalism like this: https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/jmkbm7/getting-wasted-on-...

"This story is over 5 years old."

I wonder when this infantile news outlet finally bites the dust.

I loved Vice for doing ridiculous fringe shit like that though. Nobody else would do it. It only went downhill when they suddenly started to pretend they’re serious now.

It went downhill when they were captured by woke college graduates in the late 2010s (similar to many left leaning news organizations)

This is blatant misinformation. The article you linked says Murdoch bought a 5% share seven years ago, and Murdoch isn't News Corp, and 5% is not a buyout. According to Wikipedia[0], today his share is so small they don't even list a percentile, and Soros (the Right's bogeyman, to counterbalance yours) owns 10%, with the actual majority stake split between larger, uncontroversial owners. News Corp owns 0% of Vice Media. Fake news.

fortunately right leaning news organizations headed by older people like fox and breitbart are always serious and high quality journalism

It was founded only I think, but there was some beef with the other founder and he was bought out.

The Hermit Kingdom was incredible - how lucky you have to to be to be invited to party with Kim and leave in one piece?

Simon Ostrovsky's documentation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine was great too.
