Vice has cited itself as the source of historical criticism Chappelle has ignored. At first, I wondered if this was possible, if this wasn't a violation of some cardinal rule of responsible journalism.

Doesn't it seem likely that the Vice writer knows that people have criticized Chappelle in the past and wrote this, and then some editor or intern went back to add a cite and the other Vice thing was the first thing they found? Most journalists don't feel an obligation to include footnotes.
