Activist Post confirmed the suspension with CBS46 Atlanta. A copy of the video is still available on Twitter and has been seen more than 16,000 times as of Monday morning. Ho goes on to state that once CBS46 learned of Swann’s extracurricular activity he was suspended and his video was removed from Vimeo. He only identified himself as an “investigative journalist” and did not reference his ties to CBS46.”Įxciting news #Dash fans! #BenSwann has just released this video to make a special annoucement! Get ready for Tuesday Jan 30th! 📽️🙂🚀 #Dash $Dash #Crypto #Cryptocurrency #FinTech #GuessWhosBack /12csI0mkhd “On Thursday night, Swann posted a video on Vimeo teasing about an upcoming new project he planned to announce next Tuesday. “CBS46 evening anchor Ben Swann has been taken off the air after his efforts to revive his independent investigative operation he called Reality Check came to light today,” Ho wrote. Rodney Ho of AJC.com was the first to report on the news. Only hours before the suspension Swann had released a new video – his first independent video since January 2017 – announcing his impending return to the independent/alternative news arena. On Friday, award-winning journalist Ben Swann was suspended as the evening anchor for CBS46 in Atlanta. In an official statement, CBS46 General Manager Lyle Banks stated, “Ben Swann is no longer an employee of WGCL-TV, effective immediately.”

UPDATE: On Monday morning CBS46 fired journalist and anchor Ben Swann. Award-winning journalist and news anchor Ben Swann was first suspended by CBS Atlanta after announcing the return of his Reality Check segment, then later fired.
