Well, them and the Pope. That one still baffles me.

Catch the pope story from a non AP source its another one of these things taken out of context with some copy pasta sentences.

I've read a few different articles but I don't recall if the source was AP or not, I'm sure they were. I'll see if I can find something official from .va

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.

  • This does not mean what the AP sources ran with. The original AP article had an extremely charged title directed at what was perceived alt media. Pope just said if you publish disinfo & lies you literally peddle in shit.

I'm so glad someone else caught this.
