Original Note:
This post refers to James Gordon Meek, a former ABC journalist recently sentenced for child porn and falsely rumored to be the expert who debunked Pizzagate. That rumor is based on a fabricated headline fact-checked since Aug 2023. Meek never wrote any research on Pizzagate. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-abc-pizzagate/fact-check-fabricated-new-york-post-headline-on-ex-abc-journalist-idUSL1N39W381/
