US billionaire helped to back Brexit

So it's OK to have fake title that exposes people that did not read the article to false news, especially when most of the people will not click on the story and the untrue title will be everything they will ever see?

EDIT: I do not mean to start a war here, I've read facetube's comment above as "our side is always provably right and other side spreads misinformation" and it seemed as naive and untrue view to me. Here in Poland none of 2 major powers represents my views and both manipulate news, and I assume situation is similar in US. I may have read it wrong, but situations where HN-trusted media spreads propaganda definitely do happen.

I agree, that headline is sensational. What the pope actually said was little more than a restatement of Matthew 7. I'd argue, however, that the potential impact of a sensational headline like this – i.e. the foreseeable consequences of publishing it – pales in comparison to a Breitbart News headline like [1].

What he actually said (or rather quoted to have said) aligned with my take on the title's meaning.
