Remember this name: Elle Reeve

It's rare to see a young reporter so collected, calm and rational. Here she is, interviewed by Anderson Cooper on her embedded reporting on the Charlotteville march.

I've just watched her interview with Chris Cantwell, where he wept like a toddler. Pulizter prize stuff. Anderson Cooper asked if she was scared during the march. Yes, she was. "A thousand angry men with many, many guns".

can't their benefits be withheld or terminated since they are active enemies against the very government that is paying them? What are the rules about collecting military benefits if acting violently against the United States?

While not letting bullshit statements go unchallenged. I'd imagine that's tough to do in a motel room with heavily armed mental patients.


Yeah. She did a great job.

In the heat of the moment, she might have been mistaken for one of them. Or would she? Were the nazis as completely all-male as the footage made them look?

Vice is just excellent, and worth the monthly sub cost on its own.
