How many pieces of siler will they offer Swann to stop being fair to Ron?

[randomname]

Bret Baiers face creeps me out. Did he have plastic surgery?

[bluesc]

So awesome!

Damn, if we can elevate someone this far, I'm sure other local reporters will take notice.

Since gaining fame among the Ron Paul community he has been on The Daily Show and now will be on the panel on Fox New's second/third highest rated show.

Sure hope the other reporters will take notice, I'll have to grit my teeth to put Fox on, actually have had the DVR set for a few days now.
Ben seems very accomplished in his own right but hope this brings him new opportunities.

[bronxboy10]

Wow this is huge! I have watched Ben Swann several times and loved what he had to say! He did not suck up to Dr. Paul nor did he bash him. This guy is a FAIR reporter who will put those pundits in their place on Fox.

[ronpaulfollower999]

Freaking awesome! The power of grassroots.

[speciallyblend]

youtube it someone please....

[bluesc]

Anyone notice Ben's eyes? They got to him!!1

[brendan.orourke]

Couldn't be happier for this guy! Go Ben!

[Canderson]

awesome, so, the question is, will this be on youtube for those of us without tv service?

[AlexG]

omg yes guys. You people act like we dont record anything relating to the liberty movement. people on the interwebs will have youtube vids of this

[Tyler_Durden]

Brings a proverbial tear to me eye. I remember when Ben was an unknown with barely 800 likes to his Facebook page.

[The Gold Standard]

So they either bought him or if he refused they will destroy him tonight.

[JK/SEA]

don't see or hear much from the Judge anymore...


i thought he said he wasn't going anywhere. made it sound like he was going to still be a major voice for liberty......>crickets<

[puppetmaster]

yea really where da judge??.....They want no enlightenment for the masses.

Now we will see what kind of balls this guy has. Maybe a lucrative Fox contract will draw him to the dark side. we will see. Most people get a taste of this TV "stardom" and fall hook line and sinker.

For the second time, I walked into work after a weekend, and there was a voicemail on our 888 line. It was a recording of Judge Napolitano. I know others have gotten this recording, anyone know anything about it?

Shotgun I'm Pinky. Ignorance is BLISS.

[PatriotOne]

I'll save my congratulations to Ben until he proves he's worthy of it now that he is probably in negotiations with the devil. Will he sell his soul or is he a man worthy of our admiration? I'm going to wait and see.

What is interesting is that this is obviously an attempt to woo us on the part of Fox.

[Danan]

Now we will see what kind of balls this guy has. Maybe a lucrative Fox contract will draw him to the dark side. we will see. Most people get a taste of this TV "stardom" and fall hook line and sinker.

Lol seriously? You know about the stuff he said on his show on FOX Business? No way in hell he says anything against Ron, ever.

But that doesn't mean he has to speak out for him either. If his employer wants him to stop talking about Ron and he agrees to that that wouldn't mean he lacks character. The man has to earn a living.

[Cowlesy]

This is great, Ben! Congrats, and will watch you tonight.

[trey4sports]

Bret Baiers face creeps me out. Did he have plastic surgery?

No, all robots look that way.

[Tyler_Durden]

Depending on how well it goes, we should consider writing/emailing Ben's employer, Raycom Media. Click link on my signature for more info....

The Judge probably said that to prevent liberty lovers from burning down every public building in sight when Fox cancelled his show.

My bets are that they'll let him have his show back when the elections are over and it is okay for people to think for themselves just a little bit.

Support Ben if you can by becoming a 'fan' of his facebook page and liking his posts (so that your friends see his reports in their news feed).

We're currently polling 4th in Ohio (4% below Gingrich, who has 16% (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/oh/ohio_republican_presidential_primary-1600.html)) - If we end up outperforming expectations, I think the majority of that with be a DIRECT RESULT of Ben Swan's "Reality Check" program.

[Immortal Technique]

Congrats Mr Swann.Let this be a lesson for the rest of you so called reporters !

He's one of the proposed new board members for CATO. That, with the leaked info that Murray Rothbard's shares of the Institute were never transferred from him, means Lew Rockwell could also possibly become a board member too. Judge Nap and Rockwell on the board of CATO would be sweet, sweet justice.

I thought the Kock brothers were suing for control of CATO?

[Feeding the Abscess]

I thought the Kock brothers were suing for control of CATO?

Yes, and Napolitano is one of their choices for a new board member.

The whole thing is a mess, but for now it seems like Ed Crane is the bad guy in all of this.

[RabbitMan]

So...where is Ben?

[AlexG]

So...where is Ben?

He's in the All Star Panel, that happens later in the show

[AlexG]

Bret Baier is probably the most most fair cable news show. They show AG Holder and then gave Ron Paul's response.

That was a great segment. I wish Brett mentioned how they killed Awlaki's son, who was 16. Yes, he was probably a bad guy, but did he fit those 3 criteria Brett showed?

[pacelli]

... Or they want new viewers.

Yes lets be real clear here. Ben is an honorable journalist based on his fact-based reporting of the Paul campaign. However if there is some sort of "teleprompter rule" in a major news network contract, he may be bound by contract to read the teleprompter (and not deviate from it), just like all of the other news reporters for these networks.

[Bruno]

Bret Baier is probably the most most fair cable news show.

That isn't sayin' much.

[RabbitMan]

Still waiting....

[jct74]

coming up... panel of local political experts in Ohio talk about vote tomorrow (Ben coming up)

[kathy88]

I thought the Kock brothers were suing for control of CATO?

Freudian slip on the sound?

[Tyler_Durden]

Bens up!!!

[AlexG]

He's on! They all have crazy eyes though lol

[AlexG]

Ben dropping truth bombs on Baier!

[Ronulus]

Nice swan throwing in that the delegates it's Romney vs Paul.

[Tyler_Durden]

Ben just pointed out how Romney and Paul lead in Delegates! Boom!

[Danan]

Yeah! Nice one, Ben! =D

The FOX producer won't like this. ;P

[Tyler_Durden]

Middle guy reminds me of stapler dude from Office Space.....

[millercards]

Wow.

He said the race is between Romney and Paul.

Quick change of subject...

Will they ask him anything else?

[AlexG]

lol anyone noticed when Ben started talking they had another guy on camera? Also notice this is the only segment taped

[Bruno]

No One But Paul, Ben!

[Tyler_Durden]

lol anyone noticed when Ben started talking they had another guy on camera? Also notice this is the only segment taped

Exactly. Surprised they kept the Romney vs. Paul part in the final cut.....

[millercards]

He had to butt in to make a statement.

Then they ignore his statement and move on.

[Tyler_Durden]

Ohioans not just interested in a candidate who can beat Obama. They want a candidate they can believe in. - Ben Swann

[Danan]

Who's the candidate one can believe in, Ben? ;P

[LibertyEagle]

Barf. I call his show Neocon Central.

[Ronulus]

They kind of seemed to be ignoring Swann the entire time.

[RabbitMan]

He did fine. It wasn't a huge deal or anything. I like that he brought up the delegate truthbomb though! Go Ben!

[AlexG]

Ben didn't get to say much, but he didn't let us down. Only one to mention Paul.

[Danan]

He can't just talk about Ron Paul the whole time even if he is asked something completely different. He did a good job.

I mean, he is a journalist, not a campaign surrogate...

[Tyler_Durden]

I wish Ben could post the unedited cut. I'll bet 60% of his commentary was edited out.....

Airing Date March.05, 2012

Ben Swann of the now well known reality check on Fox affiliate WXIX shares his input on the upcoming Ohio primary on FNC.

[AlexG]

he just replied to my comment on his facebook, I feel like fainting lol

[Xchange]

Thank you Sir

[robert9712000]

he just replied to my comment on his facebook, I feel like fainting lol

Somebody has a Man crush :D

[camp_steveo]

Swann states that Paul and Romney are close on actual delegates and Baer ignores him. seriously?

[lib3rtarian]

At 2:45, Ben puts in a plug for Paul, saying that it's now a fight between Romney and Paul for the top spot in delegates. Bret Baier didn't seem happy that Ben brought that up, and never asked any questions directly to Ben after that. Ben had to butt in every time to say something, for the rest of the video.

[akalucas]

omg yes guys. You people act like we dont record anything relating to the liberty movement. people on the interwebs will have youtube vids of this
where is the youtube of rand paul with the luntz focus group. everyone is talking about it but i can't find it on youtube.

[Tyler_Durden]

he just replied to my comment on his facebook, I feel like fainting lol

Haha! Ben is very interactive. We've emailed several times.

Doug Wead is the same way. I still get starstruck. 6 degrees of separation, my ass. Lol

[robertwerden]

Thats because it wont be confirmed until the first round of voting in August at the convention. All they will report is what they are told to report, and that is what the percentage of delegates that were won, even if the people who were elected as delegates wont vote for the person who won, and vote for Paul.

Very true, bar the first question Bret didn't go back to Ben - We're behind you Ben!!!

Sad really, he gets shut out just for pointing out the truth :)

[Butchie]

Does anyone else think once again we should have let Frothy win Michigan instead of giving it to Romney? Seems it would have drawn things out longer.

[alucard13mmfmj]

Ben is sticking his neck out for Ron O_O. I wonder if we will see Ben again.

Ben is quite the looker.

[alucard13mmfmj]

Does anyone else think once again we should have let Frothy win Michigan? I am still baffled as to why we handed that to Romney.


If santorum won michigan.. he would have had enough momentum to overtake Ron Paul in washington and then the results would be 1st ROmney, 2nd Santorum, 3rd Paul. 3rd would look horrible for Ron in a state he is supposed to be strong in.

[pacelli]

That guy Wilkinson kinda looks like James Carville in a wig.

Remind you of anyone else we know ;) ('s ok tho, we're working on changing all that :D )

How do you figure? He barely said two words about Paul. Sorry to be a Debbie-Downer but reality hurts sometimes. A lot of people on this forum could use a good dose of reality.

[J_White]

Ben getting some attention !! good for true journalism.

[pen_thief]

Bret Baiers face creeps me out. Did he have plastic surgery?

My theory is that it's some type of Mission Impossible mask. He's gonna rip it off and there's going to be a Reptilian under there or something. :D

[Guitarzan]

Many people on this forum understand that what Ron is doing transcends any presidential race.

Those that do not tend to be the downers.

[RonPaulFever]

Bret needs to lay off the botox.

I never once said it wasn't a fight worth fighting though...I just wish more people would accept the fact that no matter how hard we fight, kick and scream, they won't let us win..period. Do people really think these multi-billionaire bankers are just going to roll over after hundreds of years in power and say "Jeesh that Ron Paul sure took us by surprise! Man, we should have rigged teh elections or sumptin'". The voter fraud in Iowa and Maine along with voters being turned away in Washington just goes to show in the end, our votes really don't mean much.

However, I will still be driving 5 hours tomorrow to listen to the good Doctor speak and then cast my vote in the caucus.

[J_White]

he did try to get the conversation to the real thing - the delegates and mentioned Dr.Paul, but unfortunately got ignored after that.

[papitosabe]

wow... so i just watched that old video here about how the media manipulates us...one of the things was how to spin, move on , and talk about what you want... and that was so, spin 101, after Swann discussed the delegate issue...

and if you look into facial expressions...watch at 6:55 where brett is thanking the other 2 with a genuine smile, at 6:59 smile goes away, as he turns eyes towards Ben and closes eyes in a fraction of a second, while not turning his head...again, its just a fraction of a second, but you can tell things sometimes, from even the smallest facial movements/reactions... then notice at 7:01 how ben looks right into the camera, looking right at his supporters and saying, "THATS RIGHT!!!" ... most will laugh this off, but we all know communication isn't always about what is said

[Muwahid]

How do you figure? He barely said two words about Paul. Sorry to be a Debbie-Downer but reality hurts sometimes. A lot of people on this forum could use a good dose of reality.

Come on man. He plugged Paul, and he was shut down for it, and by the way, they likely edit these segments down, he could have brought paul up more and it just didn't make the final cut. What did you want him to just shout Ron Paul every chance he got so our movement can look even more fringe?

I rather him give Ron the plug once in a while and be invited back than him shout Ron paul and then never be allowed back, can we play it smart for once? This is a long term revolution.
