Is he really pretending to do anything other than pointing out odd coincidences? Did we watch the same video? Which is higher quality journalism:
A. The journalist who actually conducts some research and finds some oddities to report on and urges for a neutral view.
B. The journalist who conducts no research and writes the entire ordeal off as fake due to how implausible it may seem.

The Catholic Church has paid out over $4 billion in hush money to sex crime victims. Jerry Sandusky was implicated in the Omaha Nebraska scandal(where no one was charged for sex crines) over a decade before he was charged for misconduct at Penn state. Conspiracy of Silence's rights were bought up right before it was set to air - the new owners of the rights decided to bury it. Jeffrey Epstein is still a free man. Jill Dando was killed while investigating Jimmy Savile. Monica Peterson was killed while investigating child trafficking in Haiti and her master's thesis conveniently disappeared. Laura Silsby was convicted of child trafficking by the Haitian government but now works for the Amber alert system in the US.
Fact check me. I dare you.

Never heard of Ben Swann. His journalistic skill did not impress me in the video you provided in OP. In fact, I would not call him a journalist. An entertainer, a provocateur? Perhaps, but not a journalist, at least not a credible one. That being said you make some salient points in the last full paragraph above. However, in all the cases you cite in that paragraph there was substantial credible evidence of wrong doing. In the pizza gate narrative you just have a bunch of bull shit, and trying to puff it up like Swann does is actually a disservice to the victims of pedophilia in the cases you cite as well as the scores of cases you don't cite. That takes Swann from being "a provocateur" to being an asshole as he is doing damage to real people, namely children who are victimized by pedophiles and their friends and families, about whom he pretends to care. He is trying to score really cheap points to either inflate his own relevance or taint Podesta et al or both. Separating the wheat from the chaff, you have a lot of wheat in the above post but Swann and his "reporting" are nothing but chaff. In fact, they are less than chaff.
