The bogus story comes from a fake-news website called &#8220;WTOE 5 News&#8221;. The site includes the following statement on its &#8220;About Us&#8221; page:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>WTOE 5 News \u00a0is a \u00a0fantasy news website.  \u00a0Most articles on wtoe5news.com are satire or pure fantasy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And,  \u00a0WTOE 5 News is just one in a network of almost identical clickbait fake-news websites that recycle versions of the same spurious stories over and over again.  \u00a0In fact, &#8220;KYPO 6 News&#8221;, another site in the same fake news network, has <a title=\"No, The Pope Has NOT Endorsed Hillary Clinton For President\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/no-the-pope-has-not-endorsed-hillary-clinton-for-president\/\">published an almost identical version of the above story<\/a> that &#8211; again falsely &#8211; claims that \u00a0Pope Francis has instead endorsed Hillary Clinton for US President. The two stories are the same except that the names and photographs  \u00a0of the candidates have been swapped and some other \u00a0minor \u00a0details have been changed to fit.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last several months, the same fake-news network has churned out a stream of nonsensical reports that falsely claim that various high-profile <a title=\"Justin Bieber Is NOT Moving To Roanoke, Texas\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/justin-bieber-is-not-moving-to-roanoke-texas\/\">celebrities are unexpectedly moving<\/a> to out of the way locations \u00a0or \u00a0that <a title=\"No, 'Step Brothers 2' Is NOT Set To Begin Filming In 2016\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/no-step-brothers-2-is-not-set-to-begin-filming-in-2016\/\">long awaited sequels<\/a> to much-loved movies are about to begin filming.<\/p>\n<p>The false stories are designed simply to trick people into visiting the bogus websites and sharing their \u00a0fictional material, thereby generating revenue for the site owners.<\/p>\n<p>Given how many fake-news reports circulate online, it is always <a title=\"Identifying Fake-News Articles and Websites\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/identifying-fake-news-articles.shtml\">wise to verify<\/a> any strange or unusual &#8220;news&#8221; report that comes your way before you share it.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/no-the-pope-has-not-endorsed-donald-trump-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/no-the-pope-has-not-endorsed-donald-trump-for-president\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline: &#8220;News&#8221; \u00a0report \u00a0circulating via social media claims that Pope Francis has shocked the world by publicly endorsing Donald Trump for US President.
