So the question is, is it fake news intended to discredit, or fake news intended to misinform? What I mean is at this point I wouldn't put it past the other side of this war to intentionally post fake news honey pots. Just so they could come back and use this to discredit.

It's fake news intended to make money. As long as people click on the link and share it, the website owner doesn't care whether the content discredits anything or misinforms anyone. It's purely a money-making scheme. USAPoliticsNow is one of the sites set up by teenagers in Macedonia.

Those sites will report bits of real news, and then jump to an unwarranted conclusion, knowing many people will share the link without bothering to check their sources. Most people won't even bother to read the whole article (if any of it) -- people have a bad habit of clicking "share" based solely on a headline.

Thank you, sir! This is the best contribution to the discussion so far. Upvoted!

More likely a veiled threat. If it actually happens it will be to redirect people away from Israel's own involvement in these kinds of things.

That's my argument in the OP. People who read garbage like the USAPoliticsNow.com article above but are too lazy or ignorant to follow the article's sources, believing it on face value become "useful idiots" who ultimately contribute to pushing the narrative that pizzagate is fake news.
