If there is any doubt that the people behind these fake news sites are some of the worst people in the world, it should have been erased by an interview with one of the people who is largely responsible for the explosion of the Pizzagate nonsense.
The Toronto Star got in touch with Stefanie MacWilliams of Belleville in eastern Ontario, who is a contributor to the right-leaning fake news site Planet Free Will. Last month, she wrote an article about how right-wing pseudo-journalist Jack Posobiec was kicked out of Comet Ping Pong when staffers saw him livestreaming his theories about the pedophilia ring supposedly based at the restaurant.
The original article has since been deleted, but I managed to track down an archived version here. MacWilliams wrote that while there was “no concrete evidence” of fishy activity, it was rather suspicious that Posobiec was kicked out. MacWilliams’ story went severely viral before it was deleted.
When asked about whether she feels any responsibility for a man firing shots inside Comet Ping Pong last week while “self-investigating” Pizzagate, MacWilliams gave a response that says a lot about her—and fake news sites in general.
Despite the fallout of Pizzagate (as it’s come to be known) that resulted in an armed man entering Comet Ping Pong in search of alleged child sex slaves, MacWilliams said she has no regrets.
“I really have no regrets and it’s honestly really grown our audience,” she said.
You don’t feel any responsibility for people almost being killed, Stefanie? You, your site, and the rest of the fake news “industry,” are despicable. Period.
