Ben Swann’s Truth in Media site down, Twitter, Instagram, FB accounts gone

Stewart retired thinking the GOP is dead. Little did he foresee the rise of Trump and the alt right. He wanted to get back on air badly by his desperate appearance on his old pal show, The Late Show with Steven Colbert. He did great service giving Ron Paul a voice during the BlackOut. But when it came to it, he showed his blind progressive hatred for the right and pretend the left can do no wrong. I'm glad he's mostly out of public display. The left misses him dearly and wants him back.

Ben Swann dipped his foot a little too far into the life-style libertarians/conspiracy-types and got scammed several times. He's back doing his small town TV job and it's great for him.

Stewart is about as anti-liberty as it gets.

True liberty that is. I'm quite sure he wants to be free as well.

Let me quote Ronald Reagan for you;

"The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

The worst part is he was probably one of the most in-depth "news anchors". His reports were full of good/real info. He would of destroyed Hillary and thump if he was allowed to unleash on the both.

I think that he found out there's already an Alex Jones.

He had the potential to be John Stossel. Instead he chose to get into conspiracies.

Swann didn't get enough support from libertarians through crowd sourcing, so he had to go back to local TV news. He still does his Reality Check segments and they are very good.

No, he had some of the least in depth news out there which was largely edited tapes and news articles to make his political opponents look bad.

Cut him some slack, jack. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1h...dqkwm123Ce4ZmA

He's still active, but he's got 5 mouths to feed. Ben is still kicking royal arse out there and producing quality media. You'll see him a few times a week on youtube.

Sorry dude but Jon stopped being credible once Obama and democrats were elected. He like Bill Maher are part of the problem. They do good work when neo-cons are in office as republicans, but as soon as democrats get in office they can do no wrong in their eyes. They are full of $#@! and indeed part of the problem as mentioned earlier.

It would be like pro-Trump media not holding Trump to a standard once he is in office if he keeps up the foreign wars and bad trade deals, and etc. They do that, and they are just like jon stewart. Wake up.

Yeah but with Stossel, you don't get nuggets of gold like this:




And memes are more effective.

I contacted Swann and asked him to cover the kratom story. I hope he gets to it. We need good honest journalists like him in the fight. There's so much DEA/FDA/pharmaceutical lobbyist propaganda about it.

My assumption is that there wasn't enough money to make it a full time thing. Several failed crowd-sourcing attempts sure points to that.

Ben Swann is still very active on social media

and he's Atlanta's CBS anchor these days - http://www.cbs46.com/category/306621...with-ben-swann

over 400,000 followers on facebook and 46 million views on one news video ain't too shabby!

he's got this going on too - https://benswanncom.paystand.com/tru...--created-isis

Swann got a job at a local Fox affiliate somewhere in Ohio I believe. Ever since then Truth in Media has been all but dead.
He did start another segment like the one he used to do at his old news station that got him popular (can't remember what it was called now), but I honestly don't hear or see of him.

I'm wanting to say I read or watched something with him and he more or less said you have to have money to do things. I'm assuming Truth in Media wasn't cutting it for him to make a living.

And there was NEVER hope in Jon Stewart. Another leftist/progressive blowhard.

Like this one from last week:


And I agree, failed fundraising makes one go back to the thing that pays the bills.

From FB:

Hey guys, Ben Swann here... I want to thank everyone who has contributed to the ISIS video crowdfund. Unfortunately, we are not going to be moving forward with that project at this time. EVERYONE who contributed WILL BE REFUNDED THEIR FULL DONATION.
