Saudi Arabia Has Paid Off Vice News #vice #saudiarabia Vice News, they were someone you could count on to give you the news that no one else was willing to cover… they have fallen. After striking a deal with a State-run Saudi Arabian media company, Vice removed their documentary that was critical of the Saudi Crown Prince. The documentary revealed how MBS orchestrates purges, kidnaps Saudi elites and tortured them, and how he killed Jamal Khashoggi. The video they removed was from June of this year but Vice’s ties to Saudi Arabia go way back. In 2018, Vice started making promotional videos for the Kingdom after Saudi gave them $200 million from the sovereign wealth fund. In 2020, they helped organize a Saudi music festival that was paid for by the Saudi government & Vice hid their involvement. In 2021, they opened an office in Riyadh after previously being banned from the country. Now they’re actively seeking producers for their “new media brand” that’s headquartered in the country. Vice claims that they have full control over editorial but that seems to be a flagrant lie. This year, Vice entered into another deal with a Saudi media company and after doing so they reportedly canned a story on how Saudi Arabia was helping families harass and threaten transgender Saudis living overseas. With the Vice Union saying that just cause the company is bankrupt financially doesn’t mean it should also be morally bankrupt. The icing on the cake here is that in Vice headquarters in London, there is reportedly a map of Saudi Arabia on the wall.
