Pope Leo has denounced the “degrading” online media practice of “clickbait.” He made the comments during a Vatican conference with dozens of journalists. He praised journalists for their [dishonest and biased] coverage of Gaza and Ukraine.
“Communication must be freed from the misguided thinking that corrupts it, from unfair competition and the degrading practice of so-called clickbait,” the pope declared to roughly 150 members of the newswire group Minds International.
I’m not a fan of Clickbait, but there are so many more important things like the misinformation the media puts out.
Along with condemning clickbait, “the head of the Catholic Church praised the work reporters are doing from the war-torn front lines of Gaza and Ukraine.”
Those are the two things journalists lied about the most!
“Free access to information is a pillar that upholds the edifice of our societies, and for this reason, we are called to defend and guarantee it,” he said.
“Current events call for particular discernment and responsibility, and it is clear that the media has a crucial role in forming consciences and helping critical thinking.”
He hailed journalism as “a public good that we all should protect.”
It’s not always a “public good” and he should maybe qualify that statement. Media misinformation would have been a more important topic.
Pope Leo is out of touch. And I say this with respect for his position, but he isn’t going to be better than the last pope.
All popes will be leftist globalists. So will all democrat presidential candidates. So will all MSM network CEOs.
Once the pope supported invasion, theft, people and drug smuggling, his reputation was sealed.
He grew up very near me on the south side and suburbs.
Hey Popey Pants.
If you are getting you “news” from Legacy Media,
you are listening to The Father Of Lies whispering
in your ears.
When not blessing snow cones he is criticizing the internet, that Jesus thing will have to wait.
He might be slightly better than the last pope, but that’s it. He’s woke. He doesn’t really seem to be against abortion. He does seem to be against gays. I wonder if he had a bad experience?
Sez the clickbait pope….
Clickbait is mentioned in the Bible. It’s called deceiving or lying. Lying is said to be the doorway to all the other sins.
If the pope spent his time sincerely studying the Bible, maybe he would sound more like what the world needs, rather than an idiot who believes the cleverly conceived lying propaganda of Muslin Hamas, designed by Satan to deceive the simple minded. If he knew Islam, he would know its adherents are to to lie to ‘infidels’ like him.
