From the Wikipedia article on Vice, at least (and this is all linked to sources), the cofounders -- including McInnes -- bought it back in 2001, and he was actually with them until he left in 2008 due to "creative differences," which I (and others) read as Vice retooling themselves into a more serious news organization while McInnes was retooling himself into an alt-right leader.

Having said that, though, Vice has a pretty clear political slant, and alt-right is definitely not it. So I'm in hard agreement with your conclusion -- I mean, if you object to white supremacist co-founders, Vice kicking theirs out and cutting ties with him would kinda be a net positive, right?

Fair point; I forgot about that. Still, yes, point still stands. They're clearly not alt-right, nor supportive of alt-right causes, nor benefiting alt-righters except the most indirectly (i.e., shareholders/employees, same as any business).
