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.

That "random nobody" was typical of responders to Swann's video.  It was designed to attract conspiracy theorists and keep the fake news going.

Swann hasn't "conducted research." The journalists who debunked pizzagate did that.  http://www.snopes.com/pizzagate-conspiracy/

He is just keeping a fake news story spinning.

You list a few a well publicized cases of child abuse and then dare me to "fact check."  Epstein is a "free man" after serving a 13 month sentence for soliciting minors. what does that have to do with Pizzagate, other than innuendo?
Jill Dando was killed by unknown persons for unknown reasons.

I dare you to fact check yourself before keeping fake news alive. http://www.snopes.com/monica-petersen-killed/
