Citrus County commissioners unanimously denied a request from their local library to spend $2,700 annually on digital subscriptions to the New York Times, because the paper is “fake news” and they “agree with Donald Trump.”

During an Oct. 24 discussion, all five members of the commission agreed to reject the funding request, which, coincidentally, was also the same day the Trump Administration announced that it was canceling federal agencies’ subscriptions to the Times and the Washington Post.

“Do we really need to subscribe to the New York Times?” asked Commissioner Ron Kitchen Jr., while the others laughed. “I actually was going to say that,” said Scott Carnahan, who added, “Fake news, I agree with President Trump.”

I don’t want the New York Times in this county,” continued Carnahan. “I don’t agree with it, I don’t like ’em, it’s fake news and I’m voting no. They can take that money and do something else with it ... I support Donald Trump."

1. I think the reason they don't like the NYTimes

is because it’s above their reading comprehension level and it makes them feel bad about themselves because they’re dumb.

2. They can't handle the truth. nt

3. I hope the ACLU has those numbers, too,

because here we have an example of government officials censoring media on the basis of content. First Amendment, anybody?

4. That makes sense. Inverness

redneck

The median income for a household in the city was $26,604, and the median income for a family was $35,342. Males had a median income of $27,255 versus $21,052 for females. The per capita income for the city was $17,211. About 9.6% of families and 14.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 27.5% of those under age 18 and 8.3% of those age 65 or over.

6. FYI I just called the main number here and asked if the commissioners were going to hold

another vote because, "Of all the negative press they have received" and the woman, who was very nice told me that on Nov. 14th the library board meets and the commissions will have another, (her word was "Formal&quot vote on Nov. 19th

I'd be surprised if they voted the New York Times down this time.

And I bet the Times is happy for the free publicity.

7. Why do republicans always look like such republicans?

It's like, they don't even need to tell you.
