Who knew the lady that always leads in Ben's segments called Rachel Maddow an, "angry young man". :D lmao!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/13/tricia-macke-fox-rachel-maddow-angry-young-man-glaad-apology_n_2123959.html


Tricia Macke, a reporter with Fox 19 Cincinnati, posted "Rachel Maddow is an angry young man," on her Facebook page last month, according to GLAAD. Despite receiving criticism, Macke defended herself, responding, "You are right. I'm sorry, I should've said ‘antagonistic,’" and "I knew what I was saying."

GLAAD said "referring to Maddow as a 'man' because she is a gay woman is completely unacceptable for someone in the business of journalism." The organization's president, Herndon Graddick, responded, saying, "Macke owes an apology not only to viewers, but to young people in Ohio who are subjected to unfair bullying and harassment like this on a daily basis."

Macke removed the "angry young man" post about Maddow from her Facebook, but The Advocate and other news organizations published a screen grab.

On Friday, Macke issued an apology via Fox 19's Facebook page:
I recently posted comments on my personal Facebook page regarding cable news anchor Rachel Maddow which were insensitive and inappropriate. I apologize to Ms. Maddow and any others who may have been offended by my comments, as they do not reflect my firm beliefs in individual and equal rights, and they certainly do not represent the opinions or position of my employer WXIX-TV.

So the lesson is: if you're gay, you are allowed to make stinging remarks about anyone's political affiliation, religious beliefs, traditional (ex:stay-at-home-mom) beliefs, etc., and so on. After all, free speech is sacred, and besides, you'd better learn to have a thick skin if you're gonna play with the big boys. BUT, you're staight, God forbid you make a snide or stinging comment about a gay person's sexuality. They're just too sensitive and special to be teased in any way. Got it???

I knew about Maddow's sexual orientation when I heard about the "angry young man" comment, but I took that to be a comment on her haircut and physical presentation of herself, not her sexual orientation. Seriously, Portia de Rossi is gay, but I can't imagine anyone calling her a "man."

It's a Dutch Angle. It's meant to scare you off so you don't vote for him.


The Dutch angle, also known as canted angle, oblique angle or German angle, is a type of camera shot where the camera is tilted off to one side so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame.

In cinematography, the Dutch angle is one of many cinematic techniques often used to portray the psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed....

More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_angle

In the original Batman TV series, all of the villains were filmed with a dutch angle. What do you think they are trying to say about Mr. Swann?

As far as I can tell, yes. I will be keeping this thread bumped as well as checking back daily to see when it first starts.

It would be incredible if Ben Swann didn't win. Especially after how he treated Ron Paul during the election and his excellent journalism. I would think that all RP supporters would love his work. Let's see if we can't break a million next time? lol. But seriously, 9,000 or whatever votes doesn't show him how much he really is appreciated.

My March TV Madness will continue
03/22/13 at 10:45am by John Kiesewetter 0 Comments

I’m doing a “do over.”

Due to the auto bot voting this week with tainted results in my TV Anchor Dream Team bracket-style tournament, I’m asking you to vote again for three first-round pairings which received abnormally high vote totals.

To protect your vote, you’ll be asked to type one of those squiggly captcha codes for each vote for the rest of the tourney. Voting opens Sunday and closes at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, instead of noon Thursday. The pairings:

–Meteorologists Randi Rico vs. Tim Hedrick, and Steve Horstmeyer vs. John Gumm

–Sports anchors Zach Wells vs. Ken Broo

Thanks for your patience and understanding. The Sweet 16 has been pushed back a week to Sunday, March 31, until after the “do over” is over. The Final Four will be revealed April 14.

Yeah, this is pretty lop-sided. I predict Kiesewetter calls another do-over and limits participation to IP addresses within the Cincinnati broadcast market. But hey, it's just an internet poll. Ben knows he's got nationwide support and that's what's important here.

I've wondered if he might end up doing something like that. I wouldn't be surprised. (And not that I could blame him.)

If he wasn't already aware of Ben's support among Ron Paul folk & Liberty Movement people, he's gonna find out ... :D

I guess maybe there won't be a "do over" (or any such thing). Kieswetter seems to be fully aware of Ben's national popularity ...

FTA: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2013/04/03/ben-swann-leaving-fox-19-news/


Swann has developed a large following online for his Ben Swann – Full Disclosure Facebook videos (here), (https://www.facebook.com/BenSwannFullDisclosure?ref=ts&fref=ts) which are similar to his Fox 19 Reality Check reports. His national fan base has pushed him into the lead for both rounds of my TV Anchor Dream Team tourney here (http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2013/03/31/vote-here-for-sweet-16-tv-anchor-dream-team-pairings/). Voting ends at midnight tonight. (So leading my March TV Madness poll wasn’t enough to keep him in town??)

Look's like this anchor Rob Braun will be up against Ben Swann in the finals.

Here's his impressive resume:
