Vox - Page 4

As good people on social media watched unspeakable events unfurl in San Bernardino, California, on their television sets, all one could do in a situation where you can really do nothing is pray and offer those prayers to the world.

A Slate article titled “As of Today, Black Lives Matter Activists Can Point to a Thorough Police Brutality Reform Plan”—and another piece about the plan on liberal site Vox—are the latest media attempts to paint the radical anti-police Black Lives Matter movement as a reasonable political force.

Politics makes us stupid. That was Ezra Klein’s thumbnail version of a dilemma social science says exists at the core of all political journalism.

President Barack Obama’s political allies are questioning the text of a “side deal” between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published by the Associated Press this week.

On one hand NBCUniversal is telling us it is serious about news objectivity, while on the other hand, and mostly under the radar, NBC is funneling an astonishing $400 million in capital into two of the most extreme left-wing news

Vox chief political correspondent Jonathan Allen reacted to Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s showing during Thursday’s GOP Debate in an appearance on Saturday’s “Up with Steve Kornacki” on MSNBC. Allen said Trump “still appeals to the people he appeals to who, are angry and in

The first trailer for Michael Bay’s movie 13 Hours, based on a first-person account of the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, was released Tuesday. Many sites—including Breitbart News—posted the trailer, but Vox went well beyond that, offering a 1,500-word review of the two-minute clip.

Vox has a piece on Hillary Clinton’s unique relationship with the press which sounds a lot like special pleading in favor of a candidate who, by the author’s own admission, has a long history of lying.

Vox is once again focusing negative attention on its own widely shared piece about terrifying progressive college students. Once again it tries and fails to undercut that piece’s premise.

Vox’s Amanda Taub says a piece the site published earlier this week about progressive identity politics on campus is “truthy” and doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Strangely, Taub’s rebuttal overlooks nearly all of the evidence which might suggest otherwise.

When negotiators in Lausanne, Switzerland announced the framework of a nuclear agreement with Iran earlier this month, Vox’s Max Fisher proclaimed it an “astonishingly good” deal. Less than three weeks later, Fisher is now highlighting the case against the deal.

The killing of a Iraqi immigrant last week has become an occasion for Vox to revive the climate of hate argument, i.e. the claim that malevolent forces prompted the violence.

Can the folks at Vox count to two?

Vox may have inadvertently undercut the thrust of a story used by supporters of Obamacare in an amicus brief.

One of Vox’s authors who has been at the forefront of the push to denounce critics of radical Islam as “Islamophobes” has dramatically reversed course on the issue of ISIS’ connection to Islam.

Vox has discovered media bias but claims the real victims are Muslims.

This week, Ezra Klein’s “explainer” news site Vox scored an interview with President Obama. Given that Vox is not yet a year old, one might expect some backbiting from the more established media outlets that did not score the big interview.

Jack Schafer writes in Politico Magazine that Vox’s interview of Barack Obama is an embarrassment, full of softball questions and graphics helping the President explain his positions.

President Barack Obama has called the terror attack on Jews in a kosher supermarket in Paris last month an act of random violence, rather than a terror attack or an antisemitic attack. Obama’s remark appears in an interview with Matt Yglesias of Vox.com. The president calls the attackers “violent, vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.” He elides past the religion of the attackers or the victims in an attack that claimed four innocent lives.

President Obama is known for his frequent appearances on 60 Minutes. But he’s encouraging future presidents to “try to bypass the traditional venues that create divisions and try to find new venues within this new media that are quirkier, less predictable.”

Here are the 5 crucial facts Vox chose to ignore when it declared the Oscars racist: “12 Years a Slave” was the Best Picture front-runner when it won last year “12 Years a Slave” was up against some very tough

Last week, Vox’s Max Fisher wrote a stirring defense of Charlie Hebdo’s anti-Islamic extremism cartoons. This week, he says the magazine is racist.

By deflecting attention from the cartoons, Klein is actually trying to protect Western ideas about the state, the individual, and freedom. Yet he cannot bring himself to identify the threat to those ideas, because doing so would mean admitting that the multicultural project, to which the left is politically wedded, has failed.

In case you were wondering what Vox was all worked up over Saturday, first, you should at least know that even they had the minimal amount of sense required to call it “crazy” and, in effect, meaningless. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop them from running with it, bless their dumb and misguided little hearts.

Deadspin summarizes the situation bluntly: “Vox repeatedly crapped the bed in 2014.” This is followed by a list with 46 examples of corrections to Vox stories. As you’ll see below, Deadspin left out a few.

In what may be the silliest argument for not seeing The Interview, Vox’s Max Fisher argues that seeing it actually helps Kim Jong-Un.
