The communications media have a very great responsibility. Nowadays they have in their hands the possibility and the capacity to form opinion: they can form a good or a bad opinion. The means of communication are the builders of a society. In and of themselves, they are made to build, to interchange, to fraternise, to make us think, to educate. In themselves they are positive. It is obvious that, given that we are all sinners, also the media can – we who use the media, I am using a means of communication here – become harmful. And the communications media have their temptations. They can be tempted by calumny, and therefore used to slander, to sully people, especially in the world of politics. They can be used as a means of defamation: every person has the right to a good reputation, but perhaps in their previous life, or ten years ago, they had a problem with justice, or a problem in their family life, and bringing this to light is serious and harmful; it can annul a person. In slander we tell a lie about a person; in defamation, we leak a document, as we say in Argentina, “Se hace un carpetazo” – and we uncover something that is true, but already in the past, and which has already been paid for with a jail sentence, with a fine, or whatever. There is no right to this. This is a sin and it is harmful. A thing that can do great damage to the information media is disinformation: that is, faced with any situation, saying only a part of the truth, and not the rest. This is disinformation. Because you, to the listener or the observer, give only half the truth, and therefore it is not possible to make a serious judgement. Disinformation is probably the greatest damage that the media can do, as opinion is guided in one direction, neglecting the other part of the truth. And then, I believe that the media should be very clear, very transparent, and not fall prey – without offence, please – to the sickness of coprophilia, which is always wanting to communicate scandal, to communicate ugly things, even though they may be true. And since people have a tendency towards the sickness of coprophagia, it can do great harm. Thus, I would say that there are these four temptations. But they are builders of opinion and can construct, and do immense good, immense.
It's an interesting mixture of the pope actually seeming to slam the MSM, while also revealing that he's way off course even of his own purported religion ("previous life", wut?), total nonsense ("every person has the right to a good reputation" - umm no, not every person, not if they have done terrible things), and also talking about if someone has already paid the price of justice (so like jail time, etc) which is not the case with pizzagate at all. So then all of this was cherry picked by the MSM to misconstrue it as "the pope says pizzagate investigators are shit lovers" in a nutshell.
People should just be aware that smoke and mirrors are coming from all fronts. The pope himself is not only corrupt given what he stays silent about, but then also the corrupt MSM cherry picks and distorts quotes from the corrupt pope to spin even more. Corruption combo breaker.
The pope is a fudge packer himself, that is most likely why he used these terms. No respect for him or the other useless idiots and old boys club that run the lying catholic church

Check the pope's history under his real name. You will not be shocked he is trying to shut down "fake news"
