> but how many Catholics voted for Trump because they thought he had the Pope's endorsement? The Catholic press and Clergy had been condemning Clinton as unelectable because of her stances on abortion and other issues for four to five months. But nobody outside of the Catholics themselves really cared. The only news the mainstream news cared about was the flawed polling numbers. Also the WikiLeaks emails that showed the DNC created fake Catholic front groups to try and agitate a 'Catholic Spring' sent shock waves around the entire Catholic press worldwide. It was all over at that point. Trying to blame the Catholic vote on 'fake news' is a strawman. The people who need to be educated about the dangers of 'fake news' are the people complaining about it. Censorship of 'fake news' is far more destructive and a threat to society and free speech then a few crappy websites that pump out tabloid nonsense for clicks. Civilization has been dealing with false and misleading print since the invention of the written word. Its nothing new and people have the faculties to understand and discount it.
