Politics on TV: Decibel or decimal?

What did Trudeau say? And what does it mean? We waded into the fray (so that you don’t have to)
“Deal with the criticism, if you could, from both inside and outside your party that you lack substance.” Global’s Tom Clark asks Justin Trudeau just a little more than two minutes into the interview.
The full transcript is here, but here is Trudeau’s answer: “I don’t particularly worry about it. You know I’m not going to go around reciting Pi to the 19th decibel or you know wave my grades, or test scores to people. I’m going to simply do what it is that I have to do.”
Wait … to the 19th what? The question circulated on Twitter. Once more to the tape: “Decibel,” Trudeau said.

TORONTO – Controversial hockey commentator Don Cherry is speaking out on Twitter about a court verdict that will send a man who killed a Toronto police officer with a snow plow to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison.
In posts to his official Twitter account on Friday, the outspoken broadcaster says he can’t believe Richard Kachkar was found not criminally responsible in the death of Sgt. Ryan Russell.
The tweets say that in Cherry’s view it seems if you kill someone and “act mentally disturbed” then you can be let free.
However, the verdict means Kachkar will be assessed and treated at a psychiatric facility — and will only be released when a review board decides he is not a significant threat to public safety.
