...didn’t the “fake news” blitz hit the same time as the pizzeria story?
Yes, a lot of people have seen correlation between the appearance of Pizzagate and the concept of “Fake News” where the news media tells viewers not to believe what they hear.
An earlier thread mentioned something interesting — though I admit I have not seen this “evidence” myself. Apparently some rich and powerful people were discussing a big party. Their communication seemed to center around their possession of a piece of pizza, and their willingness to divide this slice of pizza is multiple ways. The party would center around this activity. Not a real feast but they seemed to look forward to it.
Odd.
