WGCL faces controversy over "pizzagate" report

But plenty of low rated newscast make plenty of good money because of great sale execs.

 

That does NOT excuse WGCL by any means...but they really believe this is going to make them money...ratings be damned.

For the record I think it's just as insane as you and everyone else does, but it's also funny as hell that they stooped this low, and they are taking that poor stupid clueless kid (reporter) down also.

 

That kid could use some humbling. How old is he anyway? Send him to a mid 100 market.

I bet he does just fine in the exciting new world of Opinion Journalism.

it's no longer about the truth....it's all about hits and being over the top.

Most flame out early.

Ben has announced that he is returning to WGCL Monday, but he is deleting all his social media.

Can't even spell Tuesday right... just like the President.

Is it just me or do a lot of his posts seem overly narcissistic (even for those in the media) with making the image making big deal about pages going dark and a glamour shot of him?

 

His Wikipedia is interesting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Swann

"Swann was home schooled and earned a Bachelor’s in Liberal Arts from Brigham Young University in 1993, at the age of 15, along with a Masters in History from California State University, Dominguez Hills[4] in 1994, at the age of 16.[5][6][7]" - Wikipedia page

 

I'm sorry. What?! Masters at 16?!

The more I see of him the less and less I like him. He is so dramatic, arrogant, cocky, and a smartass. No wonder so few at WGCL like him. That post about his twitter going dark is way too over the top. Is he a part time model or something? Why does he have so many glamour shots of him? Why does he have to be in EVERY. SINGLE. STORY PROMOTION of his? I clicked through several of his pictures. Does he have other people managing his twitter? Because quite a few of his captions are written in the third person. "Ben discovered __" "Ben tells us how___" "Ben said ___"

 

Give me a break. WGCL can do better than him. Swann seems like a better fit for BuzzFeed, Alex Jones, or Breitbart.

He's just like Chase Cain (we still never found out why he left Milwaukee after only one month). At least Chase has the social numbers and appeal to back him up though, and he isn't floating stuff that belongs on a clear-channel station at 3:30 in the morning.

The countdown reminds me of someone here.

Guys guys, Pizzagate was just using 'Alternate facts!' There's no use for real ones anymore if no one believes them.

I'm here in Atlanta, and on occasional I will watch him over-the-air. He has sex appeal and is eye candy is why he is still with the station. Sharon Reed and him are the eye candy night time leads at the station. That is his saving grace.

Funny part both worked for Raycom Stations. Sharon Reed (WOIO) Cleveland and Ben Swann (WXIX) Cincinnati.

Given all the propaganda disseminated about Russia lately, you shouldn't be so smug. The folks at Pravda in the 1970's had more journalistic ethics than the folks in the mainstream media (aka the Democrat Party PR department) have today. The Russia propaganda epitomizes fake news.

You should really do research to understand what constitute fact and fiction. Mainstream media isn't so divisive as you suggest.
