I found it curious that Democracy Now also came out among those mainstream media sources labeling pizzagate as fake. https://www.democracynow.org/2016/12/5/headlines/nc_man_arrested_after_shooting_at_dc_restaurant_at_center_of_fake_pizzagate_story

This struck me as odd, because Amy Goodman has been a long proponent of Assange. Are they claiming it is fake because of what Assange released, or are they saying it is fake because they don't find anything wrong in the emails? If it is the former, interesting. If the latter..... well, I'd also find that quite suspect because just the Marina A email alone is enough to cause suspicion.

I also noticed Naomi Klein is backtracking from support of Julian Assange. I question her motives too: https://theintercept.com/2016/10/19/is-disclosure-of-podestas-emails-a-step-too-far-a-conversation-with-naomi-klein/

I could be wrong, but I seem to be noticing a pattern of even "alternative media" on the left acting strangely. I've seen pizzagate covered from mostly a right angle, but would like to see it examined from those who more closely follow alternative media aligned with "left." And no, I don't identify with either paradigm. I would think that alternative media would protest against the mainstream's plea for censorship (i.e. shut down all independent investigations not filtered by them), yet Democracy Now doesn't seem to feel threatened.
