With all of these fake news stories about fake news, it’s all getting a wee bit confusing.
But this story appears to be real news.
As in, the Pope actually made these statements.
Francis said, although positive “in themselves,” communications media can be harmful and used to slander people, “especially in the world of politics,” during an interview Wednesday with the Belgian Catholic weekly Tertio. He added that anyone who uses means of communication to defame someone is committing a sin….
“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,” Francis said.
“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,” he said. “I believe that the media should be very clear, very transparent, and not fall prey — without offense, 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.”
Merriam-Webster defines coprophilia as a “marked interest in excrement, especially the use of feces or filth for sexual excitement.” And coprophagia? That’s people who eat feces.
I heard Alex Jones say this and I thought he just made it up. Because let’s be honest here, fam – Alex Jones sort of is fake news, in that he does regularly just make things up, apparently off the top of his head. He also spreads various conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact (not saying all of them aren’t based on some facts – don’t spreg out; I’m just saying many of them are not).
But yeah, the Pope appears to have actually compared “fake news” to eating poop. And not just to eating poop. To a sexual fetish relating to it. That link goes through to the official Vatican website.
Strange days.
