It's just soy-filled hand-wringing. Obviously he doesn't expect or want them to do anything whatsoever about January 6, some day that doesn't even deserve the 9/11 treatment in the slightest.

He thinks you should only be talking about the topics you're told to talk about by the media. All your interests should be determined by what your betters tell you they should be. I've seen no evidence that he thinks anything different and he keeps making this argument so I don't think I'm casting aspersions on Ben here.
This is going to be one of those things where they eventually have to investigate his stories and not a single one is built on any credible evidence isn't it? Like Jayson Blair and all those others.

I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong, but I'd guess we could go through Ben's published work from his current arc, find every checkable claim, only to find that he can link to wikipedia or some literal who that said it first, so he's not responsible for actually making it up which is what they got Jayson on. To Jayson-nail him you'd need an outright lie said by nobody else first and supported by literally nothing.
Ben is typically smart enough to let some unreliable lunatic say what he plans to say, or let some lunatic put it on wikipedia, before he tells the lie himself and hits "publish". Doesn't make it less of a lie, but it sure shifts the blame around.
Edit: Oh look, one story gets lightly prodded and a lunatic that Ben uses to escape blame for his lies before he publishes them fell out.
Great find.

He's not that smart, because he pays the lunatic.
All it takes is someone with the money for a team of lawyers to connect him to that when he defames them, and the fact that he paid the liar who he based his fake news story on is probably enough to establish actual malice. He had to have known the story was bullshit because he literally paid someone to lie to back it up.

So Twitter spokesperson talks to Ben Collins, Ben Collins writes an article based on the claim, the FBI ask Twitter about the claim, Twitter denies the claim.
From the newest Twitter Files, it's obvious that the FBI seizes on anything it can that will give it a reason to intervene. They were really desperate to find "foreign interference" that would justify increased censorship or get Twitter to give them more info on users without having to go through the legal process.
Which means they are either so desperate that they are seizing on Ben Collins' poorly written paranoid delusions or they know that Ben's source is probably one of their former FBI agents who work at Twitter. Which would make the whole thing a disgusting stitch-up where they are laundering lies through patsies and collaborators like Ben to pressure American companies to betray their customers.
I hate the antichrist. And fuck you, Chan, for befouling the name of Elvis.

I looked at that NBC article mentioned in the e-mail from the FBI that noor1717 helpfully linked, other than the unnamed Twitter spokesperson the only other source for Ben's article is a random person doing "independent research" on Russian bots:
The man tweets constantly about all the same stupid shit as Ben and Taylor and is at war with Elon now: https://twitter.com/josh_emerson
He's gotten glowing coverage in the media despite being a nobody, and oh, checkout the byline on this first one, someone who recently got banned on Twitter and all the Blue Checks circled the wagons around like Taylor: https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/13/politics/dad-hunts-russian-trolls/index.html
How did our brave journalists learn about this guy? He e-mails them his lists of Russian trolls/bots:
Another story: https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/longform/the-troll-hunter
WARNING: Those with heart problems may be too exited from this story of Josh springing into action:
And who's quoted?
His origin story? Conservative gamer who was sucked into the alt-right lies about Hillary until he "detoxed" and only started following verified Blue Checks on Twitter:
That article helpfully provided this screenshot of our brave disinformation fighter on, yep, CNN:
How did Josh get his coverage on CNN (see above)? Well, like he did to Ben Collins, he reached out to the very reporter who later wrote the story about him:
Who else is quoted in this glowing profile that mentions that Russell has been an anonymous source in over 40 stories? A Twitter spokesperson who says Twitter did work based on this random dude's "expertise" where the reporter credits him for bans/deletions that the Twitter spokesperson did not:
Don't worry about disinformation stealing the upcoming (this is from 2020 btw) election like it did in 2016 with Gamergate, Josh and disinformation specialists like Ben Collins are on the case as America sleeps in darkness where democracy dies:

I wouldn't want my LinkedIn to have a picture of my face on it if I looked like this, either.

Great find. Disgusting and incestuous. The Twitter spokesperson Ben quoted is either under Josh's spell or the FBI's.
I recognized the author of the glowing Josh profile because I heard the name for the first time today. Donie O'Sullivan comes up in the Twitter Files. His name was included in the "war game" the Aspen Institute ran them through on what could happen if, say, Hunter Biden's laptop leaked in, say, October 2020. They primed Twitter to view it as hacked material.
Do you think they pulled these names out of a hat for realism or because they are known entities who will behave in predictable ways? (Maybe not entirely predictable, since he doesn't have a "twist" like the other two journalists do in the fanfiction.)

Greenwald recently pointed out how often these fake news stories rely on completely made-up "experts" in fields that don't even exist. Even in this realm of bogus expertise, "researcher" is about the bottom of the barrel. Literally any Kiwi Farmer could claim to be a "lolcow researcher" with as much or more credibility than these buffoons who apparently only exist to be cited in fake news, since nobody has ever met them in reality.

Donie O'Sullivan is also associated with Keffals.
Here's an archive of the CNN video as well.

Same for a number of accounts, he was the "small business owner" of the Emerson Theater in Indianapolis (no longer, appears to be some kind of music venue) and I guess named his accounts during that period:Also why is the URL for his Medium profile @josh_emerson?
Starting to suspect there's some whole faggot network of these journalists who think randoms on Twitter are somehow actual sources of news. This dude e-mails them about random accounts he thinks are Russian bots and becomes an anonymous source (lmao) for some reporting. Keffals makes up shit about a random internet forum and these reporters make it a news story. All because these faggot journalists believe in some insane conspiracy theory.

Oh yeah, it's totally out of spite. And its not exactly the civilized behavior we should expect out of journalists. Journos are scum, but the elonjet accounts are hilarious. Elon and his orbiters think they are saving the planet. Yet the guy burns millions of tons of carbon just so he can go to a soccor game in a shithole country with his boyfriend Jared. And the guy has the balls to think US public airways are his. All the Elon jet account publishes is publicly available flight data, that's it! Elon using doxxing policy to ban the public flight records of his private jet is so out of touch, its just the best out come.

Why is Ben Collins spreading disinformation that anything could have happened to the "transfer of power" due to January 6th's events?
