How in the hell is the media gonna explain its lockstep "debunked fake news" mantra about Pizzagate if it ends up a huge proven scandal with arrests? Save their posts about fake debunked news before the scrubbing begins. I don't see how they survive as news sources after that.
Great question. My guess is that they don't survive as news sources. In the internet age, legacy media is quickly going the way of the phone book. This breaking will only accelerate that.
And yet I still annually find one on my porch, although it's smaller and smaller with each passing year. I wonder when the dumb fuck publishers will realize it's a bad idea. Probably when the dumb fuck advertisers also realize it's a bad idea.
