It's all true.
Washington, D. C. C.
The neighborhood was blocked on Sunday as some drugs with guns believed in a false news story that frantically and wrongly linked the nearby pizzeria to a children's sex ring.
You can conclude that Edgar Madison Welch, 28year-
An old man from North Carolina who allegedly walked into the comet table tennis restaurant with assault rifles, pointed to an employee and then fired a shot or a few shots, could be a strange
He told the police that he came to the restaurant for "self"
Investigating "false elections"
Related conspiracy theories linking Hillary Clinton with the child's sexual ring.

National security adviser to Donald Trump's choice
Share the story of the fake comet table tennis plot.
It was shared by thousands of other people.
A few days later, the retired general himself tweeted a label referring to another false news accusing Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, of using body fluids for satanic rituals.

Remember when Americans used to laugh at crazy people?
Bad supermarket tabloid story about "Bat Boy!
"The Titanic survivors are still alive ! "
Find the bible of aliens!
They worship Oprah! "?
What was the difference?
Why, after the story of George Bush's meeting with aliens, did a dead man rush to the White House gate with a gun?
Because most people know the source of news.
National Inquiry, news of the world, etc. -
Not serious because of the lack of nutrition, just like the candy bars displayed next to the tabloids.
But in today's social media world, there are plenty of reports of fake news sites that look legitimate.

A policeman, an Iraqi war veteran and a mother of two children
Nine people were injured in the shooting.
After watching a video of a carefully edited family planning executive talking about the organization to donate from a aborted fetus, the grandstanding Congressman fed him the "baby part" line. (
They must have forgotten that fetal tissue has been used for important medical research since the 1930 s and has helped to produce polio, measles and measles vaccines. )
The video was made under false excuses and, after a lot of editing, will never meet the standards of legitimate news organizations.
The false investigation ended in hours of congressional hearings, a budget crisis in many states for family planning, and the deaths of the three in Colorado.
Five years ago, it was not fake news, but the same careless use of language that incited the same terrible violence.
