VATICAN CITY, Holy See -- Pope Francis on Saturday denounced"disinformation" and fake news spread in an effort to influence public opinion as journalism's principal offence.
Widely considered a savvy communicator himself, the pontiff returned to the term"sins" to list what he called the four misdeeds of the media, according to the Vatican's translated statement of his comments. "I am concerned, for example, about the manipulations of those who interestingly propagate fake news to steer public opinion," he said, urging a"reawakening of responsibility" in particular as Europe grapples with the ongoing war in Ukraine.
