CNN - part of their "fake news" propaganda meme about Russia hacking the DNC/election when we all know the DNC was leaked by Seth Rich, who was murdered over this (also never investigated by the state-run MSM)

If you want to be taken seriously by skeptics from the general public, you're going to have to do better than 'we all know' and one article calling it a hoax.

Take, for example, "Pizzagate," a made-up story of a pedophilia ring supposedly being run out of a Washington, D.C. pizza parlor by none other than Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman John Podesta.

Fueled by conspiracy theorists posting on social media sites like Reddit, Facebook and Twitter, the story picked up so much traction that The New York Times and the Washington Post were forced to track it down, finally debunking it.

This is what people actually believe. Repeating that belief is not the same as malicious shilling, and cannot be taken as proof of such.

You have to show where posts are being deleted, where articles are taken down. Stuff outside the normal way of things.

I updated on Seth Rich, a good observation of how I had worded it. As to the CNN story, it lays out the red herring claim that the operation was "run by Hillary Clinton." No one has ever alleged that Pizzagate hangs on Hillary running it. Some believe that she is involved in the pedo thing, some may not. The idea has been raised that she may be linked, but nothing has been posited here saying it is a "pedophilia ring supposedly being run out of a Washington, D.C. pizza parlor by none other than Hillary Clinton." CNN provides no source for this false claim. Moreover, like the other MSM hit pieces, it refers to it as being debunked (by a 3rd party), again without any support for how it was debunked.
