In December, the pope said scandal-mongering media that focused only on muckraking or that spread fake news risked becoming like those who have a fascination with excrement.
He told the Belgian Catholic weekly Tertio that spreading disinformation was “probably the greatest damage that the media can do” and using communications for this rather than to educate the public amounted to a sin.
There is an unfortunate (and revolting) segment of the public which can never lift its mind out of the societal bush leagues, or for that matter, out of the gutter. If the market for journalistic trash is expanding, it says something unflattering about the record, and motives of those involved.
The "media" (i.e., the Boston Globe) is what first exposed the Catholic church of systematically abusing children, then hiding that abuse. The Pope should probably S*FU about the evils of media.
