You mean when they were bought by NewsCorp???

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
isn't vice headed by an alt right guy?
It was...but they parted ways several years ago.
It was founded only I think, but there was some beef with the other founder and he was bought out.
