Did you miss this from Snopes? Because they explain exactly why they are doing it.

ORIGIN In August 2017, months after the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory was roundly disproved, a piece of video appeared that purportedly shows featuring Donald Trump talking to television anchor Piers Morgan in 2011 about the Anthony Weiner scandal.

This time, however, it was repackaged as “proof” that the future president was one of the first to know about the debunked conspiracy theory that Washington, D.C.’s elite run a pedophilia ring out of a popular pizzeria’s basement. For example, one YouTube user preceded the video by the following narration:

This is an interview from 2011 with Donald Trump and Piers Morgan, i think that’s his name, the scum bag guy that worked with Alex Jones for the second amendment. Blah blah blah you know the story. Anyway, Donald Trump is doing the interview with this guy and out of the blue he mentions pizzagate. This is 2011. Pizzagate. It’s clear as a bell. You can’t miss it. Now I ran back through 2011 and I can’t find anything pizzagate related besides Donald Trump mentioning it.

Now, when I read the word, "debunked" in a news article, my mind processes the word as meaning "most likely true".
