Conspiracy theory peddling InfoWars host Alex Jones apologized on Friday (http://mashable.com/2017/03/24/infowars-pizzagate-alex-jones-apology/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) for spreading the unfounded conspiracy theory that a D.C. pizza restaurant was at the center of a child ***-abuse ring run by Hillary Clinton.*

They were just badly misinformed, thanks to conspiracy theorists like Jones.* Read more...
