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.

This is a human condition. People are lazy. This has nothing to do with failure of anything, people just want the fuckin news. And whatever they are fed, they eat so long as it appeals to their palate. Doesn't matter if you took a sample of people from today, 30 or even 100 years ago. They're all lazy. They want to live in an ideal world where they can trust the news and that's that. Besides, they have enough to worry about besides playing Jr detective and Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter.
Yes. That's exactly what this is.
