Does anyone else deeply distrust Vox? The quality varies a LOT, they frequently present opinions as facts, etc. The weird thing is they have moments of brilliance like the "Liberal Smugness" piece - but search "Vox News article" and it looks like even the left really hates them. They seem more interested in telling me how to feel than the facts, I guess. I wish the rest of the world had the same pride in journalism a…

Vox and all its sibling outlets (Polygon, the Verge, etc.) have devolved into poison. They've surpassed Mother Jones as the Internet's premiere outraged bleeding liberal rag. Their headlines are physically painful to read. They are unabashed smug coastal liberalism. Their videos are consistently high quality though. I'll go there probably once a month and watch a handful.

I could accept Vox (the site) being a leftist rag and just avoid but they really stepped over the line with the Verge. Increasingly weaker and weaker reviews, far more subjective reporting, and now even political articles bleeding over from Vox. I don't want a tech blog telling me how to feel about politics.
