He is the brother of comedian Norm MacDonald.
Also, needs more demographic info (born where, when). Daniel Lotspeich 01:34, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Hiding the actual identity of the critics behind a passive-voice formulation gives them far more weight than they deserve. The idea that calling Aish HaTorah's Canada branch "right wing jews" is somehow offensive is silly. Nobody bats an eye at Sikh groups complaining about pro-India bias being identified as Sikhs, or left-wingers complaining about anti-Hugo-Chavez bias being identified as left-wingers, etc. I am simply trying to give some more information about where these accusations are coming from. <eleland/talkedits> 01:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Neil Macdonald wrote an article for the CBC on May 07, 2019 where he says there are two factual errors in his wikipedia page ... "My Wikipedia entry, not written by me, contains two factual errors.". He did not identify the actual errors. It would be good to verify what he considers wrong about the information found in the wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbmackey (talk • contribs) 23:19, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: Going by "He also had a previous career in newspapers" it seems better to describe him as a journalist. – Þjarkur (talk) 20:07, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: The source says: "Prior to that he was the CBC's Washington correspondent for 12 years, and before that he spent five years reporting from the Middle East." If he was a journalist for years, we can describe him as a journalist. – Þjarkur (talk) 22:17, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

text: Never mind that opinion columnists are still journalists anyway. Chantal Hébert, frex, is still a journalist, John Ibbitson is still a journalist, Andrew Coyne is still a journalist, and on and so forth. People who analyze the news, rather than just reporting it, are still journalists. Bearcat (talk) 16:24, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
