Yesterday an idiot fired a rifle in a D.C. restaurant because he was trying to investigate "PizzaGate," the latest, dumbest variation on the decades-old series of rumors that the country is governed by secret pedophile rings. (Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.) Since the gunman was inspired by a false story, his crime was promptly blamed on "fake news." Then some pundits tried to link his assault to Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Donald Trump's pick to be national security adviser, on the grounds that Flynn had promoted the PizzaGate story. But it turned out the general had actually been alluding to a separate conspiracy theory, so naturally the accusation against Flynn was then dubbed "fake news" too.

If they really just got to blame some outlet for the nutcase, it should be the morons on Reddit & 4chan.
Fake news got its start, in the schools of journalism all over the U.S. and overseas.
Take the liberal indoctrination out of the those schools, and we might finally get the straight and unbiased news and information.
As long as news executives exchange favors with politicians and industry bigwigs there will be fake news.
Speaking of “fake news.” Has it been confirmed he fired a shot? Because several witnesses I’ve read said he did NOT.
"Republican officials are exploring how to handle a scenario that would be unthinkable in a normal election year: What would happen if the party's presidential nominee dropped out?
ABC News has learned that senior party officials are so frustrated — and confused — by Donald Trump's erratic behavior that they are exploring how to replace him on the ballot if he drops out."
Bingo! I think you are on to something. I was waiting for this item to appear.
The first thing I was going to suggest was to check this guy out. Even a nut case wouldn’t do what he did. He would have shot up the owner and everyone in sight. Coming from NC to investigate with a semi-automatic in plain sight?
Looks like a false flag to discredit anything about Podesta, Clinton, etc. Remember what they did in the Gabby Giffords shooting - blamed it on the Tea Party and to this day people still believe the Democrat brat was Tea Party. Everyone will now believe there is nothing there and anything to the contrary will be met with “truther”, “birther”, “climate denier”, “hater”, etc.
Which is most likely a false flag
I wonder where his political allegiance lies. And, I wonder if Soros cut him a check.
Something else to think about... the traffic camera which had been zoned in on the PIzza place was moved for whatever reason the day before the “gunman” entered the place, so there is no camera showing the gunman enter, whereas if it had happened the day before, we would have video.
According to an IMDb page that appeared to belong to Welch, he has film credits including one in which he acted as a “raver/victim” in a 2009 horror movie titled The Bleeding. He also worked as a production assistant on two films and wrote a short film called Mute.
Hate crimes
Alt Right
All bullsh!t propaganda from the Ministry of Truth in an attempt to regain control after their humiliating defeat.
You don’t even have to report “fake” news. The liberals managed to further their cause simply by NOT reporting anything bad on the Democrats.
Liberals’ favorite defense mechanism is projection. After they have been massively revealed as propagating fake news they are attacking “fake news.” Once you lose your credibility it is lost for good.
why is this necessarily fake news???...read deeply into the articles (many of them) before deciding.....for example, Bill Clinton went on MANY flights to an area known for pedophilia in the plane of a KNOWN addict of it.
