Mainstream Media smearing Ben Swann

but anyone with half a brain that actually listens to Ben should come out of it realizing that he comes off as an unbiased-fact checking journalist, as opposed to some sensationalistic, narcissistic jackass that tries to play on people's emotions. It should be really clear to anyone that gives Ben a listen to. I think if anything, this may actually gain him more followers who are looking for REAL, FACT based NEWS. Sometimes "bad" publicity can work in your favor.

Not to veer off-topic, but Ben doesn't come off like a lunatic the way Alex Jones came off to many viewers on Pier's show. Even in that scenario, it worked to Alex's benefit as people started wondering who this Alex Jones guy is. If even 5% of the people who do a little research on Alex Jones......

Point being, I think this can only help.

The public is seeing real journalistic integrity at work and it's making them look bad.

Trying to smear him is just proof that he is doing something right and they know it. Ben Swann is one of a kind and we need many more like him.

the smearing.

What about "Campaign to smear Ben Swann conducted by Mainstream Media" or, simply, "Mainstream Media smearing Ben Swann"?

Hello:

I am taking a moment out of my day to respond to an article I read this morning: http://www.policymic.com/articles/23449/reporter-ben-swann-s...

As you are no doubt aware, response to Ben Swann has been stellar. I see his videos all over Facebook, YouTube, and various 'freedom-oriented' blogs and forums online. Many people cherish this man's honesty, intelligence, and ability to articulate truth. He's one of the very few remaining true investigative journalists we've got!

Please do not let an ignorant, knee-jerk, illogical, emotion-based few harm Ben Swann's position within your organization.

We need him. He's invaluable. Thanks.

Ben doesn't deserve to be smeared. Being an objective reporter, he should be praised.

Here's a headline for you:

"Fake Journalists, Resentful of Being Shown Up By Real Journalist, Launch Smear Campaign"

OK, maybe it's a bit long, but it gets to the point!

They can't handle the truth or anyone questioning their facts.

the comments section of any negative page you see with pro ben support.

to look into what BenS is really saying in videoreports and writing in his blogs, this may give a great opportunity for him to break into the main stage of news business, I guess.

the people that buy into this garbage are going to do it no matter what. Some people just need to be affected personally before they will agree to look at themselves and their country objectively. As for Ben, I will keep watching, and as his audience grows, so too will the hit pieces.

article about Ben Swann and his Sandy Hook report. I don't know that it is so bad.
