Ben Swann is Being Attacked by the Establishment
It looks like Ben Swann has caught the attention of the truth police and is now starting to be attacked. What's weird is that it started by ridiculing a super PAC ad backing Jeb Bush. Interesting, to say the least. Seems like he has touched a nerve.
Here is a post on Truth in Media today:
Ben Swann Attacked by The New York Times for Pointing Out Rubio’s Voting Record
On Wednesday, a brief article, regarding a pro-Jeb Bush super PAC video ad which attacked Marco Rubio’s voting attendance record by using a portion of one of Swann’s Reality Check segments, was written in The New York Times by Maggie Haberman.
However, the Times article did not focus on verifying the validity of Swann’s statements about Rubio’s voting attendance. The author instead chose to describe Swann as a “conspiracy-minded journalist” without delving into any examples of Swann’s so-called “focus on conspiracy theories.”
Haberman claims that Swann “examined questions about whether 7 World Trade Center could have collapsed as authorities said it did, and allegations that the gunman in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings didn’t act alone.” This is absolutely true, and Swann has always stood by these examinations. However, the leap that Haberman made to then identify Swann as a “conspiracy-minded journalist” is a large one.
