"Fake news" is a fake concept. Did it happen, are people talking about it, did they decide to publish it, and people decided to read it and/or comment on it? Then it's news, whether some people think it is worthy or not. To me, real "fake news" is a completely made-up, fact-free story (because it didn't happen.) Somehow, some goofballs bastardized the meaning, co-opting it into judgment and whether a negative assessment of a news piece meant that the piece shouldn't exist at all. Pretty bogus, in my humble opinion. Face it, we don't really control what gets published, and it's our choice whether to consume it or not.

Jaded, Many years ago I spent quite a bit of time and a good chunk of change researching the Christmas Season and its origins. It was enjoyable, rewarding, and it caused me and many in my family to extend the season (both ways). Our Christmas in the US is really a huge mash-up of many traditions, customs, and economic policies/realities. But the one single event that jump starts the Christmas Season in England and the US is the publication of Charles Dickens', "A Christmas Carol" in 1843. Part of our family's Christmas traditions is to watch a different version of "A Christmas Carol" each year. We must own ten or more (probably more) versions of it on blu-ray and DVD. Everyone has their favorite which changes as family members grow older. The really cool thing, my kids are now starting to get married and will one day have kids of their own and my wife and I get to start all over again! I hope you're staying warm, cozy, and enjoying the Season, Merry Christmas!	0	not toxic

When no one else is standing up and saying "Enough!" to our rigged financial system, Barry is. Financial malefaction is the leading reason the middle-class has seen no rise in its wealth over the past three-plus decades. If you believe otherwise, you haven't been paying attention: your taxes have bailed out the Wall St. thieves; lack of fiscal accountability and regulation has led to lawlessness. Plus, the bashing of unions that began under St. Reagan has led to the collapse of the American union structure that has given CEOs the power to crush wages. Meanwhile, the middle-tier of management equally has been blown-up with all accrued savings going into the CEO and top management coffers. It would be amusing if not so sad to consider that so many Americans think a billionaire named Trump, a man who never has expressed a single care for any other human being, now cloaks himself in the mantle of "Savior of America!" Sad? It's really tragic.	0	not toxic

I got CLM while traveling in South America last year. I returned to Canada and soon developed a foot full of parasitic worms, the itch was like something I've never experienced, it hurt to walk. Health Canada's SAP denied the request my infectious disease doctor made for ivermectin which is without argument the first line treatment for this condition. I will forever be grateful to the hospital pharmacist who compounded the medication for me from scratch so I didn't have to wait and sift through Health Canada's red tape. I paid 40$ for two small pills and they worked like a charm. As a health care worker I was appalled that bureaucrats rather than clinicians were making the final decision to release this medication or not (and not just this medication but many others). Something needs to change!!! Thank you very much for writing this article.	0	not toxic

Interesting, as a licensed pilot I'll definitely defer to your experience. But I'm pretty sure in reviewing the rules on TC prior to this announcement, the restrictions for recreational use while essentially just "strong recommendations" pretty clearly stated 5 nautical miles of any Aerodrome which includes airports, heliports, etc. That said the way it was before, you only had to notify them, so just call ATC at the airport and say "Hey I'm going to fly 3km out and keep it below 200 feet" or whatever, and you're good. But I might just have mis-interpreted. I agree it's pretty imposing. Looking at a map of airports with 9km radius around them, results in a pretty "full" map with the exception of deep rural areas. Hopefully the new rules coming in summer are more realistic allowing flying for hobbyists, provided we get an appropriate certificate, and register the drone.

You'll notice the administration chose to cite the mean household income as opposed to the much more widely used median household income which the census pegged at ~$59K for 2016.

I have hiked and camp the area around Kenecott Mine for decades. August is major bear gathering in the area when they are eating the soap berries. Never seen more bears, both black and grizzly in one place except on salmon streams. And there are easy access glaciers to climb, mountains, tundra, raging glacier fed rivers as well as just big hills made of tons of loose gravel to hike on. The weather changes rapidly from warm and sunny to fast moving storm clouds that bring in big rain storms. The temperatures at night in these high mountains this time of year can dip below freezing. The easy access to this wilderness fools a lot of people into thinking that the area is like any other wilderness. My guess was that he was not going to make it far from where he started and my hope that by some miracle he was going to beat the never ending hazards of this one of a kind majestic area and survive. Sorry for the loss of such a great adventurer, there can never be many of them.	0	not toxic

Where I get fuzzy is where you keep equating taxes to retirements, again you are blaming working middle class people who pay into their retirement for the missteps of elected officials. As if we just cut all retirements and this all goes away. Look the financial mess the spending down of the CBR and all that has zero to do with the unfunded liability of pensions. It is just like Social Security some try to blame the deficit on that when it does not add one penny to the deficit. What if we weren't giving away our oil then maybe we would not be talking taxes. How about the Knik Bridge, Mat-Su rail extension, Road to Juneau, Susitna dam 3.0, Road to Ambler, LIO. Do you know right now we have steel sitting in storage for the so called Road to Juneau, it has been there for a decade and we are paying rent. Sir, when you try cut the retirement of middle class workers you end up paying more because now they cannot support themselves and they need all kinds of assistance.	0	not toxic

A few journalists, a few priests, a couple of news outlets - including NCR - and a few in the legal profession joined hearts, minds, will and skills with victims to expose and disclose the sexual abuse scandal in our Church. I cannot imagine the resistance, the demonization, the demented silence, faced from sexually abusive clergy and, maybe even more perverse, the managers, deniers, facilitators among clergy and hierarchy. Good, faithful, orthodox, docilley(?) respectful, adamant protectors joined the phalynx of hierarchical denial, obfuscation, and demonization. Lesson 1: Is the Roman Catholic Institution in the USA willing, credible, equipped, competent, interested in what is entailed in "gearing up to confront bigotry," let alone stand for the values inherent in your Constitution and perceived "story" of who you are? Lesson 2: There seems sufficient evidence and clear warnings from the presidential campaign and aftermath that the call is out once again...."who will answer"?	0	not toxic
Thank you your candid reply. I had one friend, a practising Christian who I suspected might be homosexual as he shared a house with another man although they had their own living areas. I didn't really want to know and he never referred to it. He is dead now, RIP. I disagree with you about what constitutes a core teaching. The Creeds were composed to ensure uniformity of belief in response to heresies. It is only recently that Christians began to question the Moral Law regarding sexual activity. Up to 1930 there existed core beliefs on sexual morality not restricted to the Catholic Church but throughout Christendom and beyond. The Church, therefore, did not need to codify in creedal form what was already contained in the Scriptures and not seriously contested. It is only since early last century when the biblical proscriptions on sexual behaviour began to be challenged that papal teaching has become more focussed on such issues.	0	not toxic

And yet the same press, and RG itself on this same page releases a poll showing Trump's favorabity (or lack of) before he takes office. We saw during the election that the purpose of polls was to influence public opinion, not reveal it - as if revealing it is actually news. CBS led with this poll yesterday, breathlessly inquiring of Mike Pence what he thought of the poll, like it mattered what his opinion was. Tomorrow expect full coverage of every protest and protester even if they are outnumbered 10,000 to 1. I don't expect to read much more than gussied up opinion for the next four years.	0	not toxic
"The audit shows black men are nearly three times more likely to be arrested than white men, and black children three times more likely to be excluded from school." These are statistics that you imply are because of racism, based on what proof? What if 3 times more likely to be arrested is because of that group committing 3 times the number of crimes? Being "Excluded from school", not sure what that means however it implies blame for not going to school on someone other than yourself. I have to assume you are implying those in the group are not going to school due to racism? Interesting to note the rate is the same at 3 times so maybe if both families and society places emphasis on keeping people in school there will be more opportunities & less crime? For sure there is racism in this world. However it would be a huge stretch to conclude all of a group's wows are due to external factors such as racism as opposed to personal choices. Correcting both, is required to improve standards.	1	toxic
A critical difference between Trump whose executive experience and skills enabled him to lead and grow a multi-billion dollar corporation with over 500 business units and thousands of employees in dozens of countries and Obama who never managed anything before becoming leader is that he knows how to run things effectively and efficiently. The way to do so is not the Obama "I'm smarter than anyone else and I'll ignore the advice of my cabinet, generals, etc. and micro-manage everything my way" approach. Rather, the way to get results is pick the best available senior talent, listen to and consider all their competing ideas and advice on objectives and policy, then set clear objectives and policy including accountability milestones, and let these talented executives on the ground make the tactical and operational decisions. This is what Trump has done now and throughout his career. The government is now much too complex and gigantic to do it any other way. Reagan knew this too.	0	not toxic

Jaded, Many years ago I spent quite a bit of time and a good chunk of change researching the Christmas Season and its origins. It was enjoyable, rewarding, and it caused me and many in my family to extend the season (both ways). Our Christmas in the US is really a huge mash-up of many traditions, customs, and economic policies/realities. But the one single event that jump starts the Christmas Season in England and the US is the publication of Charles Dickens', "A Christmas Carol" in 1843. Part of our family's Christmas traditions is to watch a different version of "A Christmas Carol" each year. We must own ten or more (probably more) versions of it on blu-ray and DVD. Everyone has their favorite which changes as family members grow older. The really cool thing, my kids are now starting to get married and will one day have kids of their own and my wife and I get to start all over again! I hope you're staying warm, cozy, and enjoying the Season, Merry Christmas!

When no one else is standing up and saying "Enough!" to our rigged financial system, Barry is. Financial malefaction is the leading reason the middle-class has seen no rise in its wealth over the past three-plus decades. If you believe otherwise, you haven't been paying attention: your taxes have bailed out the Wall St. thieves; lack of fiscal accountability and regulation has led to lawlessness. Plus, the bashing of unions that began under St. Reagan has led to the collapse of the American union structure that has given CEOs the power to crush wages. Meanwhile, the middle-tier of management equally has been blown-up with all accrued savings going into the CEO and top management coffers. It would be amusing if not so sad to consider that so many Americans think a billionaire named Trump, a man who never has expressed a single care for any other human being, now cloaks himself in the mantle of "Savior of America!" Sad? It's really tragic.

I got CLM while traveling in South America last year. I returned to Canada and soon developed a foot full of parasitic worms, the itch was like something I've never experienced, it hurt to walk. Health Canada's SAP denied the request my infectious disease doctor made for ivermectin which is without argument the first line treatment for this condition. I will forever be grateful to the hospital pharmacist who compounded the medication for me from scratch so I didn't have to wait and sift through Health Canada's red tape. I paid 40$ for two small pills and they worked like a charm. As a health care worker I was appalled that bureaucrats rather than clinicians were making the final decision to release this medication or not (and not just this medication but many others). Something needs to change!!! Thank you very much for writing this article.

Interesting, as a licensed pilot I'll definitely defer to your experience. But I'm pretty sure in reviewing the rules on TC prior to this announcement, the restrictions for recreational use while essentially just "strong recommendations" pretty clearly stated 5 nautical miles of any Aerodrome which includes airports, heliports, etc. That said the way it was before, you only had to notify them, so just call ATC at the airport and say "Hey I'm going to fly 3km out and keep it below 200 feet" or whatever, and you're good. But I might just have mis-interpreted. I agree it's pretty imposing. Looking at a map of airports with 9km radius around them, results in a pretty "full" map with the exception of deep rural areas. Hopefully the new rules coming in summer are more realistic allowing flying for hobbyists, provided we get an appropriate certificate, and register the drone. (similar to current USA FAA rules)

You'll notice the administration chose to cite the mean household income as opposed to the much more widely used median household income which the census pegged at ~$59K for 2016.

I have hiked and camp the area around Kenecott Mine for decades. August is major bear gathering in the area when they are eating the soap berries. Never seen more bears, both black and grizzly in one place except on salmon streams. And there are easy access glaciers to climb, mountains, tundra, raging glacier fed rivers as well as just big hills made of tons of loose gravel to hike on. The weather changes rapidly from warm and sunny to fast moving storm clouds that bring in big rain storms. The temperatures at night in these high mountains this time of year can dip below freezing. The easy access to this wilderness fools a lot of people into thinking that the area is like any other wilderness. My guess was that he was not going to make it far from where he started and my hope that by some miracle he was going to beat the never ending hazards of this one of a kind majestic area and survive. Sorry for the loss of such a great adventurer, there can never be many of them.

Where I get fuzzy is where you keep equating taxes to retirements, again you are blaming working middle class people who pay into their retirement for the missteps of elected officials. As if we just cut all retirements and this all goes away. Look the financial mess the spending down of the CBR and all that has zero to do with the unfunded liability of pensions. It is just like Social Security some try to blame the deficit on that when it does not add one penny to the deficit. What if we weren't giving away our oil then maybe we would not be talking taxes. How about the Knik Bridge, Mat-Su rail extension, Road to Juneau, Susitna dam 3.0, Road to Ambler, LIO. Do you know right now we have steel sitting in storage for the so called Road to Juneau, it has been there for a decade and we are paying rent. Sir, when you try cut the retirement of middle class workers you end up paying more because now they cannot support themselves and they need all kinds of assistance.

A few journalists, a few priests, a couple of news outlets - including NCR - and a few in the legal profession joined hearts, minds, will and skills with victims to expose and disclose the sexual abuse scandal in our Church. I cannot imagine the resistance, the demonization, the demented silence, faced from sexually abusive clergy and, maybe even more perverse, the managers, deniers, facilitators among clergy and hierarchy. Good, faithful, orthodox, docilley(?) respectful, adamant protectors joined the phalynx of hierarchical denial, obfuscation, and demonization. Lesson 1: Is the Roman Catholic Institution in the USA willing, credible, equipped, competent, interested in what is entailed in "gearing up to confront bigotry," let alone stand for the values inherent in your Constitution and perceived "story" of who you are? Lesson 2: There seems sufficient evidence and clear warnings from the presidential campaign and aftermath that the call is out once again...."who will answer"?

Thank you your candid reply. I had one friend, a practising Christian who I suspected might be homosexual as he shared a house with another man although they had their own living areas. I didn't really want to know and he never referred to it. He is dead now, RIP. I disagree with you about what constitutes a core teaching. The Creeds were composed to ensure uniformity of belief in response to heresies. It is only recently that Christians began to question the Moral Law regarding sexual activity. Up to 1930 there existed core beliefs on sexual morality not restricted to the Catholic Church but throughout Christendom and beyond. The Church, therefore, did not need to codify in creedal form what was already contained in the Scriptures and not seriously contested. It is only since early last century when the biblical proscriptions on sexual behaviour began to be challenged that papal teaching has become more focussed on such issues.

And yet the same press, and RG itself on this same page releases a poll showing Trump's favorabity (or lack of) before he takes office. We saw during the election that the purpose of polls was to influence public opinion, not reveal it - as if revealing it is actually news. CBS led with this poll yesterday, breathlessly inquiring of Mike Pence what he thought of the poll, like it mattered what his opinion was. Tomorrow expect full coverage of every protest and protester even if they are outnumbered 10,000 to 1. I don't expect to read much more than gussied up opinion for the next four years.

"The audit shows black men are nearly three times more likely to be arrested than white men, and black children three times more likely to be excluded from school." These are statistics that you imply are because of racism, based on what proof? What if 3 times more likely to be arrested is because of that group committing 3 times the number of crimes? Being "Excluded from school", not sure what that means however it implies blame for not going to school on someone other than yourself. I have to assume you are implying those in the group are not going to school due to racism? Interesting to note the rate is the same at 3 times so maybe if both families and society places emphasis on keeping people in school there will be more opportunities & less crime? For sure there is racism in this world. However it would be a huge stretch to conclude all of a group's wows are due to external factors such as racism as opposed to personal choices. Correcting both, is required to improve standards.

A critical difference between Trump whose executive experience and skills enabled him to lead and grow a multi-billion dollar corporation with over 500 business units and thousands of employees in dozens of countries and Obama who never managed anything before becoming leader is that he knows how to run things effectively and efficiently. The way to do so is not the Obama "I'm smarter than anyone else and I'll ignore the advice of my cabinet, generals, etc. and micro-manage everything my way" approach. Rather, the way to get results is pick the best available senior talent, listen to and consider all their competing ideas and advice on objectives and policy, then set clear objectives and policy including accountability milestones, and let these talented executives on the ground make the tactical and operational decisions. This is what Trump has done now and throughout his career. The government is now much too complex and gigantic to do it any other way. Reagan knew this too.
