Ben Swann On Why Independent Media Cannot Be Stopped - The Crypto Revolution

![ben swann anarchapulco thumbnail1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVCwe4FnkEq1Dr3yZ1R1YqQAxFBekDsTz2EPb7vMAxe4U/ben%20swann%20anarchapulco%20thumbnail1.png)

*In this video,* I talk with Ben Swann of Reality Check in Acapulco, Mexico during Anarchapulco 2018. 

Ben explains where he's been for the past year and his efforts bringing his message forward with his new sponsor *'Dash Digital Cash'.* 

He also digs into why journalists and reporters shouldn't worry about what's popular or unpopular in their drive for the truth. He explains the difficulty of breaking free from the misinformation in both mainstream media and independent media and how people can stay consistent, objective and avoid confirmation bias. 

All this and more!

one thing that i like mentioned by Ben Swann is to put alternative media reputation at the highest level than that of the main stream media as to the veracity of facts and truth.

We can only pray that the mainstream media goes away with its lies, their agenda and it's intended social destruction.

I hope that all the alt media get a dominant voice.

At the place where the main stream media is right now, i think that the independent media is the way to go.

Mainstream media is painful to watch these days if you are knowledge at all about the subject they are covering... They get everything wrong, or misrepresent facts, or exaggerates truths, or clearly have no idea what they are talking about and never bothered to consult any experts...

Clearly in a hurry to be first to broadcast these people have stopped proof reading and doing some research before going live on that subject matter.

Only a few minutes into the video but wanted to follow/upvote and comment.  

Reading more into alternative media and both of the fabulous journalists in the video.

Fantastic that the content you assemble here is yours.  Freedom.

Thanks for posting and nice to meet you.
