According to Wikipedia, Pizzagate is a "discredited and disproven" conspiracy theory that came to prominence during the 2016 United States presidential election.[1] It alleged that high ranking Democratic Party officials were affiliated with an alleged human trafficking and child sex ring, that was run out of restaurants and retail businesses in the DC area.[2] The theory was then "debunked" by the Washington, D.C. police[3] and Snopes.[4] ISGP painted the story as "disinformation" by hinting most pushers of the story were linked to the leaders of official opposition narrative-stories such as Alex Jones.[5] A shooting at the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria a month after the election put Pizzagate in the headlines.[6][7]
Contents
Official narrative
Wikipedia writes: "In March 2016, the personal email account of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, was hacked in a spear-phishing attack. WikiLeaks published his emails in November In 2016, proponents of the Pizzagate conspiracy theory falsely claimed the emails contained coded messages that connected several high-ranking Democratic Party officials and U.S. restaurants with an alleged human trafficking and child sex ring. One of the establishments allegedly involved was the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington, D.C".[8]
Research
ISGP claimed the story to have little proof, calling the investigation "silly", mentioning individuals such as Tony Podesta and Anthony Weiner already had a quite nefarious reputation for liking underage children. Most media pushing the story was linked to several previous disinformation campaigns. Joël van der Reijden pointed to some individuals such Marina Abramovic, Dennis Hastert and Christopher Kloman as particularly suspicious.[9] Most research in the US media didn't focus on them after Donald Trump won the US 2016 Election.

| Ben Swann | “The story itself was vetted at a higher degree than any other story in the five years that I was working with them, was vetted higher than any other story. Because I chose to self-vet it through the highest levels of editorial control at our station. Which I didn't have to do and I chose to do that because of the sensitivity of the subject matter we were talking about. And so it ran through the highest levels of journalists at that entity, all the way up through news managers, who have had 30-40 years in the business, were looking at it. And when they came back and said was 'yeah this is solid, it's totally solid'. [...] And one thing that I forgot is, there was so much that we couldn't say, so much that we intentionally left out because it was so wild, we couldn't put some of it on TV.” | Ben Swann | 30 January 2023 |
