Another hatchet job:
Despite rumours, there's no evidence of a paedophile ring on YouTube - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-38829249
The main thrust of the article challenges the claim of a pedo ring on YouTube. However, pizzagate is addressed directly in a central few paragraphs.
So, Pizzagate is, apparently, an 'invented allegation', 'discredited rumours [which] began life as a politically motivated plot by Donald Trump supporters.' The article then predictably blames users for the armed gunman episode, and claimed people '"projected" hidden paedophile signals onto publicly available photos and other material.'
We need Ben Swann back on the air ASAP.

I like how they keep making news articles to point out how crazy this one particular conspiracy theory is, while refusing to look at any of the evidence presented, and continue to misrepresent it as "Hillary's running a sex ring out of a single pizza joint, owned by an innocent asshole who feels the need to threaten people for some reason."
Oh, wait, they don't even mention that allegation. Doesn't fit their narrative.

What you describe is a technique of sophistry; which is "mis - characterization of the opponents' position. " They use it all the time because "that's all they've got" A limited bag of tricks. In fact they likely have sheets which instruct them on how to do it. That's why they are so boring and their argument boils down to zeros so quickly.
They only way they succeed is when the soil of the culture has been prepared with "short - attention span" "pleasure seekers" "in - crowd lovers" and those who love to mock and who love to follow the "top dog" either out of fear or actual "Stockholm Syndrome" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome -
