In a week that pretty well clinched 2016's reputation as one of the suckiest years in the past, oh, millennium (R.I.P. Ghost Ship victims), we also saw ...
•While most websites are hungry to get more video views, the Weather Channel did not take kindly to Breitbart News using a clip about the La Niña phenomenon to advance a false claim that the Earth is cooling. "The next time you write a climate change article and need fact checking help, please call. We're here for you," Weather.com's editors told the ultra-conservative website, which published the video under a licensing deal.
•When it comes to Vevo's list of most-watched music videos of 2016, one name stands out: Justin Bieber. The Canadian singer had three songs in the top 10, led by "Sorry." Vevo also says that David Bowie's videos received the biggest number of views in a 24-hour period outside of new releases. His videos were viewed 51 million times after his death in January (see: suckiest year, 2016).
•Portland's City Council voted to impose a surtax next year on companies whose CEOs earn over 100 times the median pay of rank-and-filers. They will have to pay an additional 10 percent in business taxes, with that going up to 25 percent if the CEO's pay is more than 250 times the average worker's.
•"Just read that Andrew Puzder is Sect. Of Labor and Scott Pruitt will head the EPA," comedian Albert Brooks tweeted. "God, I hate this fake news."
•WSB-TV in Atlanta reported that after a thief stole $3,200 from the cash register of a MetroPCS store, the franchise owner said it would get repaid by taking money from employees' paychecks. Once the story spread nationwide, it backed off.
