Not nitpicking but I think it's more accurate to say that the opening paragraphs are a defense of Comet Ping Pong Pizza Parlor from pizzagate research (not that executive editor of The Atlantic Adrienne LaFrance would have a word to say about the research into elite pedophile cases and pedophile organizations and worldwide cp rings that would shed light as to the motivations of those who persist in talking about 'pizzagate').

LaFrance's laborious piece is an installment in Atlantic's "Shadowland" series. Ironic timing, given the latest revelations casting sunlight into the murky treasonous acts emerging from Obamagate, the persecution and framing of Gen. Flynn by any means necessary and the unmasking of American citizens, the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, Rule of Law be damned. All snuggled at the heart of the criminal Left's own whole cloth conspiracy theory: Operation Russia Collusion.

Perhaps the Shadowland series is the brainchild of The Atlantic's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, I found the reference to it here: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/shadowland-introduction/610840/ but the link was dead (it's unlikely that it's due to the contributors seeking to correct their errors. /s)

And I suspect The Atlantic will stand by their claim, that they are solely motivated to insult the intelligence of Americans for their own good, just as they claimed they were forced to endorse Hillary, to protect America from the Elite Left's greatest fear: DJT. In the obvious enthusiasm to carry water for the Left (despite the fact that in its founding statement, The Atlantic promised that it would be “the organ of no party or clique”), they have no qualm using the largest political broad brush they can find to characterize Trump supporters as unhinged mental cases.

One wonders if the editors at the Atlantic are wavering from their stand for Americans' freedoms laid out in August 2018: 'The Freedom of the Press Is Yours It is your right as an American to read what you will, to write what you think, and to publish what you believe. Will The Atlantic have the stomach do a series pointing out the MSM's printing and hourly catwauling of outlandish theories dangerous to America's freedom? (The targeting of Americans by the Obama shadow government actions, his attempted coup to destroy a duly elected president?). I won't hold my breath.

This is my problem with Pizzagate - it's so closely tied to far-right nutjobs calling Obama treasonous for investivating treason. I find much of the elite pedophile ring stuff quite believable and wish the media would look into it further. However I'd like to find just ONE liberal like myself who approaches the topic rationally and doesn't spout off about Jesus and the devil and how the Jews are going to take over the world.

It looks like you are new to this subject - do you know about David Seaman? He's not popular here but he is socially liberal. There are others as well, if you look for them, but I don't think you'll find any Obama fans. What you are likely to discover is that most people conform to a predetermined set of ideas and won't adopt an idea from "the other side", even if it's true.

...I just remembered Nick Bryant - he's quite liberal and very knowledgeable on this subject, but he hasn't wanted to say much about Pizzagate specifically.
