Ben Swann currently BARELY in FIRST place for a Shorty Award

[Lucille]

Lyon: 234
Pool: 144
Swann: 134

I find it impossible to believe that we can't scrape up another 100 or so lousy votes to get him to tie for 1st!

OK, when I click the link I see Ben in third place with one MORE vote than the guy in second. Can we get a few more votes here? Maybe they update ranking periodically...

 

[unklejman]

I bumped him up past 2nd place, but he's still in third.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Who has an account on Daily Paul and can get this posted there? There is no way Swann shouldn't be winning.

 

[Lucille]

+rep, LE!

He's now in 2nd with 147 votes.

I posted it and Nystrom even tweeted it out. A bunch of people are retweeting my tweet, but they have to vote for him themselves through the link for it to count....

 

[ClydeCoulter]

He's in 2nd place right now
1st Amber Lyon 234 votes in #journalism
2nd Ben Swann 156 votes in #journalism
3rd Tim Pool 134 votes in #journalism

oh, it has to be through their web page? I just tweedted it on twitter, twiddle de dum...(sorry, couldn't help it)

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Trying to tweet through the web page says I have to give them permission to see who I follow and post stuff through my account, NOT!
But I did tweet and rt'd a bunch directly through twitter.

edit: ignore the stupid reply about women giving head, don't know how that got there:o

 

[ItsTime]

It is not letting me vote! grrrr...

edit: I forgot to read the fine print. You have to type something after the "because..." worked fine for me.

 

[IDefendThePlatform]

1st Amber Lyon 234 votes in #journalism no change

I can't remember the whole story but isn't Amber Lyon good too. Is it that bad if she wins. I think she stood up to her company somehow on reporting the truth and was fired.

Yes, she is good. Although I would prefer Swann to win, I wouldn't be disappointed if Ms. Lyon got the victory.



She's the female Ben Swann.

Yeah, she's pretty good. But Ben investigates stuff we are interested in, so, if we don't support him, who will?

but she has also done good work.

I just noticed the person in 4th place has 75 votes in #journalist and three in #justinbieber

 

[fr33]

I finally got around to voting for him.

It's a shame that Amber Lyons is winning. Not that I dislike her. 2nd place is what she deserves. She basically represents a left wing faction of the liberty movement.

 

[Occam's Banana]

Ben is only 17 votes behind right now ...
