Forbes deleted a deeply misinformed op-ed arguing Amazon should replace libraries

libations-of-blood-and-wine:

This was all librarian Twitter was talking about today.

My favourite bit of this is the quote from Forbes about the removal: “This article was outside of this contributor’s specific area of expertise, and has since been removed,” because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more professional way to say “this idiot had no fucking idea what he was talking about.”

you know that dumbass Forbes article advocating for Amazon stores to replace public libraries? It was taken down cause the author got dragged so hard by like everyone who has ever entered a library in their life & now Forbes released a statement basically calling the author of the original op-ed “deeply misinformed” lmao

“Libraries play an important role in our society. This article was outside of this contributor’s specific area of expertise, and has since been removed.”
