Ignoring the &quot;wake up sheeple&quot; part of your post, let&#x27;s say VICE are paid for and editorially controlled by the US government. To what end? VICE certainly has a US bias, but I&#x27;m not sure it&#x27;s always &quot;pro&quot; US foreign policy. The VICE TV show has certainly shown me parts of the world and people I wouldn&#x27;t have seen without them. If that&#x27;s the CIA&#x27;s doing then thanks!
