Look up the word "InfoWars" on google right now. Multiple MSM websites are calling for InfoWars to be banned and mentioning Pizzagate.

"Facebook taking heat over its approach to Infowars; here's what you need to know"

Does Facebook have an Infowars problem? That depends on who you ask.
Since the social networking giant held an event last week to tout how it's fighting false news and misinformation, Facebook has faced some blowback for how it handles Infowars, the far-right site led by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Since misinformation on the internet during the 2016 presidential campaign sharpened political divisions, Facebook has publicly mounted an offensive against the spread of false news on its network.
But many journalists have challenged Facebook saying if the site is truly fighting the spread of misinformation, how can it justify continuing to allow an official page for Infowars, which has propagated stories about hoaxes such as Pizzagate, and most recently, the Democrats' plan on July 4th to attempt to foment a civil war."
Jones also promoted the Pizzagate conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton operated a child sex ring at Comet Ping Pong, a pizza restaurant in Washington, D.C. On Dec. 4, 2016, a North Carolina man opened fire inside the pizza shop. Jones apologized to the restaurant owner.

Just ask the Sandy Hook parents tormented by InfoWars' followers, or the shooter who stormed into Comet Ping Pong pizzeria, in Washington, DC, to rescue children trapped in a sex-slave ring that didn't exist.
Business Insider:
"Facebook won't ban Infowars in its fake-news purge — a site that says 9/11 was staged and the moon landing was fake"
The phrase "fake news" has seen its meaning blur over time. Around 2016 it was widely used to describe false or misleading news designed to influence social-media users politically or to gain advertising dollars, but President Donald Trump hasince popularized it as a phrase to dismiss coverage he doesn't like or to discredit accidental mistakes made by news organizations.
Infowars, whose Facebook page has almost 1 million followers, is known for pushing conspiracy theories on its site and on YouTube. Its host Alex Jones has claimed that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax with actors. The outlet has also said 9/11 was a so-called false flag and that the moon landings were faked. Jones also promoted the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, for which he apologized after being threatened with lawsuits."
Has Alex Jones said something damning recently about Pizzagate or about to? It seems like all of a sudden InfoWars is being attacked and there's a call across MSM to ban it and they all keep mentioning Pizzagate. Why?

Disclosures are coming. MSM want to fully control the narratives on SheepleBook and the rest. Can't have a site like Infowars holding similar credibility as them. They keep mentioning the 'hoax' pizzagate because Alex Jones was forced to retract his pizzagate stories and apologise. This is also a warning to Infowars. They've became mainstream in themselves with revenues, ads, huge servers required and a business to run to keep their brand going. They may not interest a lot of people here who think theyr too mainstream but for the 'normies'... If there are major disclosures then normies are more likely to look to infowars for the lowdown. It is a desperate last grasp at control.
