funny this coming from vox
1 comments

Vox publishes it's share of viral clickbait but it also publishes some quite good investigative journalism. Like Sara Kilff's stuff on hospital billing. There are writers at Vox who I think are bad but also writers there good enough for me to put them in my RSS reader. There's less editorial control at Vox which means both that the bad is worse but also that the good is better. And the bad is probably what goes viral on Facebook to pay for the stuff I consume.
Vox is the left's version of infowars or breitbart. Why vox is allowed here but their polar opposites are not is beyond me.

Vox and "good journalism" are not words that belong together. Vox is like most "news" today - pure biased agenda. Hopefully, in a few years time, a recession washes away all the trash rotting in the media space today.

Vox is nothing like infowars. There is really nothing redeeming about infowars whatsoever. Vox can be a mixed bag, but can still inform and make you ponder.
