VICE CEO Shane Something, North Korea's BFF
HBO is partnering with “VICE” on an innovative news magazine show to be hosted by “VICE” founder Shane Smith, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. The weekly series will be executive produced by Bill Maher, Shane Smith and Eddy Moretti, VICE’s chief creative officer, with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria serving as consultant. Titled VICE, the HBO series will showcase a mix of stories from around the globe. Among the segments in production for possible inclusion in the show are: Taliban child suicide bombers; North Korean slave labor camps; New York’s underground voodoo heroin clinics; Somalian pirates; and Satanic dentists in the Pacific

Interesting idea, except... CNN? Fareed Zakaria? Bill Maher?

There's a reason people watch VICE - it is not mainstream media where everything is owned by five or six guys. Now they have CNN and Bill Maher, who sometimes has interesting guests on his Real Time program, and even has moments of brilliance himself but is otherwise more bloodthirsty than the usual MSM he likes to put down so much. CNN is nowhere near the "fringes" VICE likes to report on and will probably bring their typical "smugness" to VICE reports. Bloodthirsty and smug, great, just great!

And I hope they got rid of that nerdy guy with glasses.
