‘I agree with Trump,’ commissioner said in denial of $2,700 to pay for digital access to the Times for 70,000 library-card holders
A local government in
Florida has blocked its library system from getting a digital subscription to the
New York Times, dismissing the newspaper as “fake news” and as a challenge to US president Donald Trump.
At a meeting in Citrus county, a coastal area west of Orlando, several of the city’s five commissioners laughed as they explained why they did not want to approve the library’s request.
