The term got terribly misappropriated like that, which was probably unavoidable. But no, stop it. There is always going to be potential bias in reporting focus, there will always be arguments to be had over journalism. But junk like Pizzagate is just plain wrong, full stop. It's fake. Everyone should agree that it's fake.
And yet in the social media world (Facebook was the big offender) links like this are just treated as "news" and presented to their users alongside other stuff. There is a gatekeeper role for these companies that used to be provided by the traditional media. And Facebook wasn't even trying. So we got Pizzagate.
