Why are you challenging them? They just won TWO PEABODY AWARDS FOR REPORTS IN 2014; here are the criteria for Peabody awards:
Does this story matter? Is it a story that needs telling? Does it inform us as citizens or help us empathize with one another?"
These are the questions that the Peabody board asks of the stories it considers for the prestigious Peabody Award. It appears that in the case of two of VICE News's 2014 documentaries, The Islamic State and Last Chance High, the answer was, "yes."
It is an award that means a lot to us at VICE News, because it celebrates that with which we are most obsessed: storytelling.

I've never heard of this organization - went to its home page and found this statement:
VICE News is an international news organization created by and for a connected generation. We provide an unvarnished look at some of the most important events of our time, highlight under-reported stories from around the globe, and get to the heart of the matter with reporters who call it like they see it.
The 3 featured stories were: Leaked NSA Reports Allegedly Show the US Spied on France's Last Three Presidents
Scandinavian Ships Rescue Nearly 1,000 Migrants in 24 Hours
Migrants Stranded on Kos: Europe or Die
They publish in English, Spanish & French.
It's one thing to challenge someone quoting FreeRepublic. But lately, if a certain candidate's supporters can not defend her on the facts, they ignore the facts and attack the messenger.
