The 'deep throat' unannotated source canard only works so many times.

"One Small library in West Virginia won't buy Woodward's book. This is the equivalent of Google rigging search engines, and Big Tech banning Infowars from every major platform."

Seriously:

The Post noted that the decision has sparked controversy in the city, one that has a reported population of about 600 people. According to the Post, the city voted 75 percent for President Trump in the 2016 election.

600 residents, probably 400 of which are voters, 100 of which voted against Trump, maybe half of which go to the library, 50... of those maybe 20% are militant Trump Haters bothered enough to maybe borrow a book on Trump - 10 potential readers.

LOL. False Equivalency of the month!

TrumpCuck says

Google is a private enterprise and can do as it pleases. Libraries are government-funded and government run institutions.

Government-sanctioned censorship is FAR MORE INSIDIOUS.

So Google buys links from Breitbart? And if Google or Facebook don't buy Breitbart-linking posts, they're not available?

You're joking right?

You're literally comparing a single 600-population library not buying ONE Trump subject book with Search engine rigging? Libraries aren't doing to great these days, in case you haven't noticed.

Ridiculous Comparison.

This struggling low-budget tiny town library with a population of a few hundred, not buying the latest Woodward book is the equivalent of 80-90% of searches happening on Google.com across the entire United States and Around the World, involving billions of people.

If you can't see this, you need to get better informed.

If you guys are going to use somebody shoving someone at a protest as an indication of how out of control violent the left is, than this is a more than legit example of censorship.

I'm fine with woodwards fiction book everywhere as long as Alex Jones et al can be found on all platforms as well.

I don't say that. I say it involved multiple people and is in fact the subject of a lawsuit, in San Jose alone.

They had it, I used to wipe my ass with when I had to take a massive shit.

Maybe Woodward's Publisher can donate it to this small town library, just like Infowars donated free links and free video to Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter. ;)

No, it's 1 million times worse.

In one case, it's a private company deciding how to run their business. In the other case its the GOVERNMENT deciding which books it allows people to have access to.

Woodward said he wrote the Trump yellow journal as a warmup to a career change writing bodice rippers. Libraries buy lots of bodice rippers, so he was crushed by the news.

Yes! If a tiny village Library doesn't buy every Anti-Trump publication when it comes out, FREEDOM HAS NO MEANING.

When the Library fails to purchase the rights to screen the new Michael Moore film in the AV Lounge, it will be proof positive that this small county library is RIGGING the Elections for TRUMPTARDS.

Whereas banning free links and video by content providers from every major Big Tech Outlet for opaque reasons is PURE FREEDOM.

A public library not buying one of the fastest selling books of all time does seem a bit odd, doesn't it?

So, if the grocery store doesn't stock Bartlett pears, is it "banning" them? Because I don't think you know what the word ban means....

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

just like Infowars donated free links and free video to Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter. ;)

Lol you still think that stuff on the internet is free simply because you didn't directly pay cash for it

I wonder how many rural libraries they had to call before they fixed up this story, just like Erdeley had to go to multiple 5-figure population universities before she found one frat rape story, that turned out to be a lie.

If a tiny rural village library doesn't buy every NYT Bestseller within weeks of publication, it's government CENSORSHIP!

Evan F. says

LOL You think it's okay to remove the #2 Political site behind CNN from Youtube because of a video that's been up for years and years already.

Berkeley Springs is a pretty little town on the way from Winchester to PA. I usually stop there whenever I drive to see relatives in Pittsburgh. If you pass through, stop at the Dairy Queen. Better food than you might expect and always staffed by pleasant young women. If you want a very scenic drive, take Route 9 through the mountain passes.

Bob Woodward has no right to peddle his filthy lies where it's not welcomed

Who's Streets?

Leftist: “Google is a private business, it can do what it wants!”

Touche.

Dishonesty? Like comparing Google's massive worldwide reach to that of some small hick library in fucking West Virginia?

Seriously? This is all you got? Just laughable this is the example the Progs cite for Trump Cultists "censorship".

BTW - Google censors the shit out of their search engine to operate in China. Yet we don't hear a peep from the Progs over that. Yeah yeah yeah - they are a private company and all that. But their motto is "don't be evil" and the leaked tape after the 2016 election shows their Corporate leadership are chock-full of SJW Progs.

Google is a private company.

A library is a government run public institution.

Hopefully you recognize the difference there.

A rural library is not the Library of Congress, with a copy of every book published. It's also run locally by the public who funds it with limited tax dollars.

Whereas posting links to infowars is free and Google is nationwide and considers itself a Platform, but acts like a Publisher.

Hopefully you recognize the difference.

Of course. I'm not a hypocrite like Trump Cultists. The Supreme Court ruled on that case.

Well a library refusing a free bestseller seems a LOT like censorship to me.

Free? I must have missed that part where libraries don't pay for books. Please link again.

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

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?

LeonDurham says

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.

Herdingcats says

هل أنت في أجرة حزب الله?

Rocketmanjoe says

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!

TrumpCuck says

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.

jazz_music says

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?
