The US librarian who sued book ban harassers: ‘I decided to fight back’; The Guardian, June 2, 2024

Olivia Empson , The Guardian; The US librarian who sued book ban harassers: ‘I decided to fight back’

"While Jones was able to turn her situation around and make a success of her experience with the upcoming book, the journey wasn’t easy. Hate still lingers in the community she grew up in and lives in, and she’s lost friends and acquaintances over the rumors that were spread about her.

“One of the chapters is a play on Michelle Obama’s quote: when they go low, you go high,” Jones concluded.

“When I wrote my story, I tried to go high. I hope that no one harasses the men who harassed me. I just wanted to be honest, truthful, diplomatic.”

That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America will be published on 27 August."

Christina Wilkie , CNBC; Dinesh D’Souza election fraud film, book ’2000 Mules’ pulled after defamation suit

"The conservative gadfly Dinesh D’Souza’s film and book “2000 Mules,” which pushes false conspiracies about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, has been removed from distribution by its executive producer and publisher, according to an announcement Friday.

Salem Media Group has announcement that it had yanked D’Souza’s film and book also apologized to Mark Andrews, a Georgia man falsely accused in “2000 Mules” of ballot stuffing.

Andrews in late 2022 filed a federal defamation lawsuit against the company, D’Souza, and the non-profit advocacy group True The Vote, which contributed to the “2000 Mules’ project."
