Perhaps because so many people can see through him.It is his job to be convincing. For instance, he could play the entire interview with the woman from the 9/11 commission but he won't, because then you would have to conclude that his editing is misleading.
He takes Willie Rodriguez at his word. Willie has been caught in more lies than anybody on this subject. So "The Body" isn't doing any real investigating. So the entire premise of the show is fraudulent.
In the Plum Island episode, its said that he is storming the island yet he never goes ashore. He claims that he is watched by DHS yet there is no visual of anybody paying the least amount of attention to him. These are lies.
In the half-truths department, its off the scale. At one point "The Body" says that [paraphrasing--I don't care enough to go back and listen for exact quotes], "I pay his salary. Where I come from, if you pay the salary, they work for you" when the Coast Guard is allegedly harassing them. Uh no, it doesn't work that way and he knows it.
One of his guests on the show recommends "nuking" plum island. Thats a level headed suggestion.
He repeatedly refers to it as a germ warfare lab. It isn't.
It goes on and on.
He's a liar, not a SEAL, and making a lame attempt to get some sort of ratings from his ravings. That doesn't seem to be working either.
Well theres theatrics and sheer dishonesty. I remember the late Jack Anderson one time walked into a Congressman's office. The camera crew he brought with him showed him going through the Capitol Hill metal detectors, down the hallway and into Robert Dole's office (I think it was Dole). Once he was seated with Dole, he pulled a gun out of his jacket pocket and then pulled bullets for the pistol out of his other pocket. That is theatrics to highlight how relaxed security was. Ventura doesn't do that; he says something happened or is happening and it isn't.
