> Pizzagate is nuts I agree. But child abuse among elected officials does happen. A former Speaker of the house [1] was jailed for payoffs to admitted sex abuse victims.

I'm saying this to call attention to another threat from "fake news", that legitimate and outrageous complaints can be swept under the rug by loudly exclaiming, "fake news again!" and people being conditioned to automatically dismiss claims when they hear it.
