  • In July 2016, a the web site WTOE 5 News reported that Pope Francis had broken with tradition and unequivocally endorsed Donald Trump for President of the United State There was no truth to this story, however. Although WTOE 5 News proclaimed that news outlets around the world were reporting on the Pope's unprecedented endorsement, no reputable news publications confirmed it, because WTOE 5 News is one of many fake news sites that masquerade as local television news outlets and do not publish factual stories: This is at least the second time a satire news article claimed that Pope Francis had offered an endorsement of a candidate during the 2016 presidential election. In October 2015, another fake news web site reported that the Pope had endorsed Democratic contender Bernie Sanders. That story was also a hoax. (en)
