Re: [LM_NET] SHARE: Don't You DARE Share That Book List!

Apparently not a single reputable news source has picked up this story.  A bunch of 
blogs, most quoting Alliance Defense Fund or Fox News would not pass muster as 
sources for a high school research paper.  I have a feeling there is much more to 
the story (or much less) than is being reported by these very biased sources (ADF, 
Fox, StoptheACLU, WorldNetDaily, etc.).

I heard this on two different stations this evening as I was flipping through 
stations----the first was Fox News; the second was a local station. Apparently this 
is "old news" since it began in March but the national "bits" are being distributed 
now for the general public to hear about, I'm guessing.

Here are some of the blogs and online sites that talk about the issue:
