Gloria Steinem is a true one-of-a-kind. The feminist icon came of age at a time when famous people weren’t subject to a deluge of uninformed opinions railing on about each and every word and action they perform over a 24 hour period. She is a saint like figure who has managed to maintain her moral…
Vice News usually sends its staff to cover foreign hot-spots, but over the weekend it embedded a reporter on the domestic battleground of Charlottesville, as journalist Elle Reeve followed the every move and statement of white supremacist Christopher Cantwell.
