Of course they don’t know the books are there, that would require reading.

I was really hoping there would be a logical explanation like someone saw an interlibrary loan system on the library website where you could reserve the books and have them delivered if you chose to, because it would make sense that a person might be confused about what’s on the shelves vs what’s “available.” But no, just another flavor of whackjobs and fascists.

Admittedly, if you want to have some say about what is in the library collection, doing it before a book is purchased is the right time to do it. Less money is wasted that way. It’s the impulse to ban books that is the problem, not that they wish to do so for titles that the library does not own.

It might be time to stop paying attention to what CNN says.

Gee, I wonder which “outside group” the banners want to come in to oversee the situation?

The internal politics that may or may not be going on within CNN right now don’t make this particular story any less true or less horrifying.

I wasn’t suggesting any doubt about the story. It was more an aside about CNN’s recent change of attitude.

Historically speaking, weapons-toting knuckleheads terrorising libraries has never been a good sign for the health of a civilisation.

This thread does a really good job explaining CNN’s shifting of attitude.
Long thread short, demographics and “cord cutting”. The remaining cable news audience is 50+ and more conservative.

Plus the biennial influx of corrupt cash thanks to bloody Citizens United, the poop factory that keeps on giving.

[Nazi Colonel Vogel is torturing Henry to get answers]
Colonel Vogel: Tell me about this miserable little diary of yours. The book is useless and yet you come all the way back to Berlin to get it. Why?
[he slaps Henry in the face with his glove]
Colonel Vogel: Why?
[he slaps him again]
Colonel Vogel: What are you hiding?
[he slaps him again]
Colonel Vogel: What does the diary tell you that it doesn’t tell us?
[he tries to slap him again; Henry grabs his wrist, stopping him]
Professor Henry Jones: [through his teeth] It tells me, that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try reading books instead of burning them!
