Fake news. Fake news. Fake news. We hear these words every day. But really how fake is fake news? Turns out not very fake. Any news that does not toe the line of the mainstream media is labeled by it as fake news. It is no secret that the mainstream media today is interested only in the news that serves its political patrons and sponsors. Understandably, any news that can be damaging to them gets suppressed. For long TV and newspapers were the main sources from where people consumed news. Big media houses had the power to manufacture public opinion. Fortunately, that hege...

Thanks to the government-mandated electronic health record (EHR) our doctor’s eyes and attention are now divided between the patient and a computer screen. Government agen...

When Barack Obama assumed office as the 44th President of the United States in 2009, the outgoing president George W. Bush wished him good luck and for the next eight years that Obama governed he evaded any political...
