Ben Swann: Being A Journalist Does Not Mean Being Silent
Yesterday, I got the chance to speak with journalist Ben Swann at #Anarchapulco 2018. Swann talks about why the idea that journalists should not have opinions is bullshit.
I am an investigative journalist and liberty activist; a Lead Investigative Reporter for @activistpost and the founder of the TheConsciousResistance.com & The Houston Free Thinkers. I have also co-authored three books with @johnvibes: The Conscious Resistance: Reflections on Anarchy and Spirituality and Finding Freedom in an Age of Confusion, Vol. 1 and Finding Freedom in an Age of Confusion, Vol. 2

God bless Ben Swann! SOOOO excited that Dash is now sponsoring him!
The fact that y'all are upfront about your bias is important. Most pretend they're sticking strickly to the facts which is missleading at best. It looks like y'all are having fun at Anarchapulco! We'll be there in 2019 so keep a seat warm for us. Also, we'll not be returning to Texas as our plan is to join the Anarchapulco Settlers community at that time. Keep up the great work & let Ben know that we couldn't be more glad that Dash is letting him join steemit.com. Ben has tons of fans here that are looking forward to what he'll bring to our community.
Outstanding questions to ask Ben Swann @dbroze... not a second of wasted time in that exchange.
Yeah, reporters have opinions... it's a good thing. What's bad is when mainstream media talking heads do (as Ben says) twist facts to fit their opinions (or more accurately the opinions of those who sign their paychecks).
Strongly agree. I (Ford) have opinions, and even though I keep them out of my News2Share reporting, the reporting is motivated by a desire for independent truth. That's an opinion in itself. And pretending not to have an opinion makes it fiction, because you watch it under false pretenses. The most honest journalist is truth, unadulterated by outside interests, and with all cards on the table.

The journalist never speaks too much They think with their intelligence.

I'm a fan of Ben Swann and I'm glad to see him back. That said, frosted tips are never a good idea. Put the hair color bottle down Ben. Slowly back away.
