idk exactly but I was watching a pretty reputable source on YouTube and they said that this was debunked and that it wasn't actually a post from VICE. Just figured I would reply so as to not further the fake news that it may be. You can research it yourself but I think if this was real they would not have said so many things that make them look so foolish like how their own material is being used to damage their reputation. That is like saying "we said stuff in the past that isn't true so we are making sure you can't see it so you don't call us shit news". that's is just what I heard from more than one source online. it doesn't smell right for VICE News to come out with this type of post damning their entire credibility and announcing it to everyone. I think whoever did hack the account specifically named all the archiving sites to show people that you can always go back and see what websites have had so networks like CNN can't simply erase them and post an editors note and deleting the article that was originally posted. but yeah when I first saw this yesterday I was like "What?! VICE really admitted that they were basically lying to everyone and trying to cover up what they had written and that people on the far-right are using their own words against them? that's ridiculous and way too obvious". who knows but there is a lot on YouTube about it if you wanted to check it out. I guess its fake news about fake news about fake news. all the more important to look into it before posting because I had already thought about making a post about this very topic yesterday but I am pretty sure it was just simply click-bait if they didn't get hacked. I can't remember which.
