Which episodes have a good Pizzagate deep-dive? (lemmy.world)

I was hyping the podcast in a c/politics thread when someone asked for a link for a pizzagate debunking.

They made the interesting point that most debunkings are merely "there is no basement". I must confess. I find this argument pretty compelling, but are there any deep-dives into the conspiracy origins from KF. Due to what I confessed, I never really followed the details of this one. It seemed to morph into QAnon conspiracies rather seamlessly. It seemed to be all claims, no known damages.

What immediately came to mind is Episode #39 in which Dan does a deep-dive into Jack Posobiec and analyzes the Comet Ping Periscope video that Owen Shroyer reports about. (No, I didn't have the episode number off the dome.)

But that is more Jack Posobiec is full of shit because pizzagate is full of shit. I love this episode. But the periscope video is more about two infowariors' total inability to "act natural". But it's not really a pizzagate debunking, I suppose. Still comedy gold in my opinion.

A community to discuss the podcast Knowledge Fight and topics of interest to the hosts, Dan and Jordan.

This community is unofficial. Neither Dan nor Jordan currently know about it, and I don't feel like bothering them about it. They do not know me.

Feel free to share your bright spot in the most recent bright spot thread.

Rules: If you are fans of Dan and Jordan, you know the rules already. Keep happy thoughts during our battles against poisonous ideologies.

What is Knowledge Fight? Well, no one can make it sound good. So I'll just make up a story.

What happened January 7, 2011? I don't know, but Dan can tell you. Kinda. You see, sometime in 2017, former stand-up Dan Friesen decided to see what kind of shit Alex Jones was spewing on that day on his InfoWars broadcast. Why that day? Well, it would be just your average day on the Alex Jones show, but average days don't exist there.

Dan crawled through the batshit and presented his findings to his best friend, Jordan Holmes. You can listen to that here.

Or skip that fictional origin story of Episode #75 and just visit knowledgefight.com
