Too many bad sources here, if I was visiting for the first time that would put me off! Please can you use mainstream media sources for the events such as Norway paedophile ring and biggest child pornography bust, and previous cases? And then for the rest just link to the evidence. No linking to news sites for the raw evidence, we need to make sure people see that this isn't about people just reading fake news sites and believing them etc!

The Norway link is independent.co.uk. Do you want all wikipedia?

Sorry I mean the Dutroux stuff. The post that is linked to is a great post, including info on lots of different CA scandals, but the original post was full of links to evidence and sources. The one shared here doesn't seem to have any of those links in it, it's just the text of the post, so to someone skeptical it'll look like it's just someone making up stories, unless they search for themselves, but it seems not many people bother doing that!

I appreciate you trying to teach the non-professionals how to be better journalists.

I'm not a journalist, I did train as one a long time ago and then realised it was an awful profession full of awful people. Half the time I think all the disinfo and bias is just out of sheer laziness - so many journalists just make stuff up or just leave writing their article to the last minute, so they'll just call up a friend for a quote and see what other people are saying and cobble something together. I expect most of them haven't even bothered to look at any of the stuff pizza gate has found out, and just assume it's all nonsense because they're worried their friends would laugh at them if they took it seriously. Just a lot of very vain, shallow people who want social cachet without any effort.
