Even the Pope thinks fake news is a scourge

Weary journalists got a pep talk from none other than Pope Francis this week, with the head of the Roman Catholic Church calling for “rediscovering the dignity of journalism” and condemning fake news.

Francis released a message Wednesday called “The truth will set you free: Fake news and journalism for peace.” Armed with evidence of biblical proportions, the Pope went about defining fake news and instructing us how to recognize it and combat it. 

Frankly, we could use all the help we can get in that department.
