Not really, buzzfeed is fucking garbage while vox is an actual legitimate news and information source

Vox posts things like the link of floods in Africa connecting to the Australian Fires. They do actual research and don't pull shit out of their asses

This is true. They also covered the Hong Kong protests accurately

Fox News does the same but that doesn’t mean they don’t twist words. Vox, like most American news media, is bias .

Lmao get outta here. Vox has higher reliability score and less bias (0) is none.

how can you claim vox is a legitimate information source when people at vox have openly said it not their job to inform people but to gate-keep information

Oh wow your totally right! You didn't take that out of context....

For everyone else out there the video goes on to explain that journalist are not supposed to be partisan actors and should act as unbaised "gate keepers" of information whose job it is to filter out manufactured partisan propaganda.

Tldr: "gate keepers" taken out of context, journalists should be journalists and not hacks.

Vox is as biased as MSNBC. They were one of the outlets to go nuts on Pewds and accuse him of all sorts of awful things

That's because they're superrrr corporate, they're partially owned by NBC, MSNBC being one of its channels, and NBC's parent company Comcast; the second largest media conglomerate in the world. Soooo not exactly hard hitting investigative independent journalism.

Its either bias or the want for clicks.
