"A library in West Virginia says it has no intentions of carrying a copy of veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s new tell-all book about the Trump administration.
The Washington Post reported Friday that the Morgan County Public Library in Berkeley Springs, W.Va., does not plan to place Woodward’s book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” on its shelves."


The right continues it's drive toward censorship and limiting free speech.

Hmm, not to me. Sounds like a tiny rural library has limited shelf space and a limited budget. No reason to buy a book that maybe half a dozen people will use.


Well "free" means the budget doesn't matter.

And, there is no shelf space for the best selling book in a decade?

You mean if they don't buy it a few weeks after it comes out, it's censorship?

Look what a deal people got if they waited a few months to buy "What Happened?"

Fiction titles sell well these days, but better to wait for discounts and/or the softcover.

Smart Librarians.

No, I mean if they refuse a free copy of the #1 bestseller, that sure seems like censorship.

it doesn't matter whether the library bought it or not, a libby would just have stolen it.

No.

If the library refused a free copy would you consider that censorship?


Only if they had total lack of shelf space and weren't buying any books.

Of course, Youtube and Twitter and Facebook aren't "Running out of Space"

Not native Russian speaker, but this is horribly incorrect grammar, presumably from Google translate

Libraries also dont carry Penthouse. Must be the Nazis!

Libraries are government-funded and government run institutions.


As such they have LIMITED funds and can not be buying every piece of trash that gets a dust jacket.
It’s not the government’s job to make every Leftist book a best seller.

Damn, just look at all the down votes this thread got.


It’s almost as if the author was trying to make a ludricrous point that was rejected with prejudice.

Like I said, I wonder how many libraries the Journalists called before the found one that didn't buy Woodward.

I wonder how long before the book hits the discount bin at 50% off?

By Thanksgiving at the latest?

Why are you being purposely dishonest again? You've been told multiple times that the book was offered for FREE. Why do you persist in claiming the library didn't buy it??

Why do Trump supporters continually lie?

Yep--the point being that Trump cultists don't like free speech. And it's a good point.

The Board Members did not know the book was to be donated. They probably have a policy of rejecting used books because people show up with boxes full of tattered, outdated titles they couldn't offload at the garage sale. I have several librarians in my family, so I know how libraries work. According to the WaPo, it was an employee, not the leadership, of the Library which rejected the donation.

*This is from reading the UPDATED article, not the original one*

However, Public Libraries refuse both to buy books and reject free books all the time. That's very common.

And it's laughable that one of the thousands of public libraries, this one in a tiny area serving a miniscule population, is the equivalent of a lifetime ban from Youtube apparently over a years-old video that nobody had a problem with.

So, it's still false equivalency. And reeks of desperation.

Riiiiiiight. When was the last time you saw 1000 Trump Supporters have a Chimp Out, throwing molotovs and assaulting people, over campus speakers?

Hilarious reading some of the Progs on this site claiming that they and the SJW's are all about free speech.

They can't be this stupid, so I chalk it up to rank dishonesty.

It's like a parody that they hold up this nobody library in bum-fuck West Virginia as some sort massive example of hypocrisy.

There may be nothing more pathetic possible in a forum such as this, to shit on the site while remaining an engaged member. Either leave or stay. Why shit on the site while sticking aorund? It's bizarrely narcissistic behavior

It’s a ridiculous point that is unsupported by evidence. You’re just trying to drag the other side down to your level of corruption. No thank you. Not buying what you’re selling!

Weak sauce!

Can't we all get along?

We are for the most part citizens of one country. We are in the same boat.

Which turned out to be an employee not following policy, anyway.

WaPo is so desperate for anti-Trump News, they are now trolling Zuckbook to find "My Library Donation was rejected" stories and running them as Big News.

Does this mean YouTube will be ending Alex Jones' lifetime ban and restoring one of the top news sites? Twitter will be ending Sargon's ban? Google and Apple putting Infowars App back in their Play/App Stores (~90% of Mobile OS)?
