I love how we get to hear / exposed to a piece of Ben's story. I'm always super curious about how the VICE journalists got to where they are. Hope to see more background stories on these people!
Ben Anderson is seriously one of the very best presenters/journalists out there. You guys at Vice should bring more people like him in, rather than the wimpy 'professional emailers' whom have seemingly never seen any conflict except from TH-cam videos. You need people with actual experience, you can't just parachute them into the DRC/Sudan and hope for the best.
I've been following Ben Anderson for years, well before he joined the Vice crew. I found his work in Afghanistan in the Helmand Province to be fascinating.
I love your work, Vice! It's exactly as Ben mentioned, the mainstream isn't covering what's important as they're only covering what sells. I hate it, and that's why I decided I want to be a journalist. The world is so full of interesting stories and events that are not being told and somebody has to tell them. You're my heroes.
These are the types of reporters VICE needs to have, fuck the hipster ones that cover drugs and shit. Good to see some quality journalism. Look forward to seeing more of you Ben.
Been watching your reporting ever since you joined Vice News Ben, and all I can say is thank you!! Thank you for putting your life on the line to get the real stories and situations out to all of us! You are one of the best in the world. God speed Ben!
Please don't give up what u do ... You offer a massive light into my mind on how some parts of the world really revolve that as you say are not reported by main stream media most of the time (c4 news is ok) I have had the pleasure of watching your reports since the days of "holidays in the danger zone"when it was on BBC 2 with Simon Reeve, but would really like to see u work with Marcel Theroux or Niall Ferguson .... Would love to see you exchange ure thoughts n knowledge ( Also Ben .... Please setup you're own channel ) ;)
I would love to be in this line of work, even if I were just crew. Just doing the same old shit and watching/reading about all the injustice around the world makes me feel like I am trapped in the matrix, especially when im surrounded by ignorance 24/7 .
Mr.Anderson thank you for all the in sight you bring to the News world . I enjoy watching VICE. True news and in sight. Be safe and thank you. True Jernalism. At its best.
they got really lucky to work with him and then rope him down for a job. i don't think there's a single host that i dislike but ben anderson is easily the best. vice just keeps getting better :)
I applaud Mr. Anderson's efforts to illustrate the situation in Afghanistan. While abuse of young boys has been common in the Middle East (even early in the War in Iraq, it was so prevalent the Taliban was seeking to establish a code of conduct against the practice among the ranks that would forbid it, which wasn't successful). I would have liked to see Mr. Anderson being given an opportunity to address the issue with any of the local tribal leaders; particularly their religious view on homosexuality and how it can coexist within a culture that ignores abuse of boys. Furthermore, do families routinely fear their sons will be kidnapped by members of the Afghan Army forces and abused? And, since their weapons found in family compounds are confiscated, what means do they have to protect their children from being taken right out of their homes? Clearly cultural changes are necessary so it would prudent to address how they can be encouraged now as well as after our troops withdraw permanently. But encouraging coalition forces to ignore abuse in the name of cultural sensitivity is asking them to ignore any other inexcusable atrocity. In fact, considering the insurmountable horror of being raped as a child, it is little wonder the males grow up ready to lash out in hatred by becoming terrorists.
Thank you Ben, one of your fans in here. If u gona pass by in Lebanon to cover a civil war or another explosion or another war with Israel ill be happy to help you
How does one go about joining such a company as a journalist? I am a Linguistics student and also feel that perhaps there is more to life than what I'm experiencing locally.
Wow! A vice presenter who is not a douchey hipster. I like!
this guy is brave as fuck!
I am looking forward to hearing more from this guy.
I really enjoyed the work you did in Afghanistan with Vice, i also enjoy vice for the exact same reasons you went to work for them.
I love how we get to hear / exposed to a piece of Ben's story. I'm always super curious about how the VICE journalists got to where they are. Hope to see more background stories on these people!
God Bless Ben Anderson, my dream is to film a documentary for Vice, one day when i do, i can finally say "I made it" because its my dream :D
Why dont you make a documentary on People who just have sex but with gay or midget people> Because thats how bad vice is devolving to be. KEK
esesolox3 That is "Vice" not "Vice News"
applesapje I'm sorry i didn't know they're not associated with each other
TheFreshPhotographer Think they created Vice News for all the serious stuff and Vice for all the random bullshit
hurts their credibility either way.
Ben is amazing! Hope to see more of him on Vice
I really look up to Ben Anderson. Is an amazing journalist and human being

I want to be this guys intern
Best reporter, producer, journalist i've ever seen. Incredibly thoroughly and unbiased reports.
I've been following Ben Anderson for years, well before he joined the Vice crew.
I found his work in Afghanistan in the Helmand Province to be fascinating.
great bloke
Really appreciate the work and effort; take care!
My favorite journalist
check out his old BBC stuff if you want some more docs by him. dude is badass.
this guy is a gem.
I love your work, Vice! It's exactly as Ben mentioned, the mainstream isn't covering what's important as they're only covering what sells.
I hate it, and that's why I decided I want to be a journalist. The world is so full of interesting stories and events that are not being told and somebody has to tell them. You're my heroes.
This would be a much better world with more journalists like Ben Anderson.
These are the types of reporters VICE needs to have, fuck the hipster ones that cover drugs and shit. Good to see some quality journalism. Look forward to seeing more of you Ben.
I both want his job and would be completely terrified to have his job.
...I still want his job.
Hard to comprehend the difficulties that many third world countries suffer through. This man helps us think about the difficult reality.
His Afghanistan work is by far the best I've ever seen on the subject. Fantastic journalist
Been watching your reporting ever since you joined Vice News Ben, and all I can say is thank you!! Thank you for putting your life on the line to get the real stories and situations out to all of us! You are one of the best in the world. God speed Ben!

Ben is the best of VICE!!! give this guy a raise :)
What's the song at the end?

Say what you will about Vice, they do some good coverage in often ignored places. I wish Ben Anderson luck and hope Vice News kills it.
Please don't give up what u do ...

I came here looking for the man that sang the ssong from kill la kill, i did not find him
I love his voice and accent, no homo
You've taken my job! :-) Keep up the good work Ben.
I would love to be in this line of work, even if I were just crew. Just doing the same old shit and watching/reading about all the injustice around the world makes me feel like I am trapped in the matrix, especially when im surrounded by ignorance 24/7 .
Thank you Ben, thank you Vice, for everything, the coverage, the insight, the perseverance to portray what mainstream media refutes. thank you.
You made me shed a tear! I want the news to be the same thing as this! But we get Justine Bieber's in the front page of CNN

An OG of journalism.
Ben Anderson makes some good content, it's good he is part of VICE

He's a bad-ass. Here's hoping he stays safe as he gets the stories out.

"VICE News is launching soon." ....when is "soon™"?
Soon™
Great job Ben, keep covering the stories you are doing! I was very influenced by the ANA coverage. Stay healthy!
Mr.Anderson thank you for all the in sight you bring to the News world . I enjoy watching VICE. True news and in sight. Be safe and thank you. True Jernalism. At its best.

Ben Anderson joining Vice is hopefully their saving grace.

Thank you Ben for being a shining light in a world of disinformation and unsympathetic & shoddy journalism.
