Pope Francis has blasted
the phenomenon of fake news in his message for World
Communications Day on Wednesday. "The tragedy of disinformation
is that it discredits others, presenting them as enemies, to the
point of demonizing them and fomenting conflict," it read. "Fake
news is a sign of intolerant and hypersensitive attitudes, and
leads only to the spread of arrogance and hatred. That is the
end result of untruth".
