    Yeah. That's symptomatic of the bad reporting by the MSM.

    By itself, pizzagate is not terribly newsworthy. Even though it's credible, it's below the threshold that a good journo reports on. But then when the MSM called it proven to be false, they were not telling the truth and being bad journos. Swann's response to this, which is a very good response, was to show the bad reporting, which involved showing how pizzagate is indeed credible while the MSM wrongly said it is not. Reporting on pizzagate alone is probably below common threshold of integrity of most types of journalism; however, reporting on bad journalism by supposedly good journos is above the threshold.

    What makes you say it's credible? The kinds of coincidences they're trying to connect are on par with the coincidences being used to argue Hillary is an alien lizard or musicians have all sold their soul to the devil. There's no real connectedness there, it's all contrived.

    Just that it could be true. That doesn't mean it's likely true.
