The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.
US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.
[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.
[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

> Tell me where do I find the REAL news?
You find "real" news anywhere there are journalistic standards and ethics. [wikipedia.org]
No news publication is perfect because omniscience is impossible. And there is a wide range in how well different publishers hold themselves accountable to those standards. But the less those standards are applied, the less "real" their reporting should be considered.
There is a certain strain of political ideology that seeks to discredit the concept of journalistic standards. Don't let those people convince you to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Because once you do that, all that's left is fact-free partisanship.
