Pedophile Book: Amazon changes its mind...

Ah, they changed their mind… about the pedophile book.

Amazon looks to have decided selling a book offering advice to pedophiles isn’t a best business practice.

The book is no longer available online. Dozens of people told me they planned to boycott Amazon for selling the book. (Somehow I found an image of the books cover. Tough to look at, eh?)

Now that Amazon isn’t selling it, will you go back to buying books from them?

The Pedophile book, Amazon

It's the Pedophile book.

The pages of angry readers go on and on. There are 208 of them to be exact.

I’m talking about the number of pages filled with anger directed at Amazon.com for selling the book, The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure.

The big question here is (as the AP asks,) should Amazon vet books before they are sold?

If they did, where would they draw the line? Where should they draw the line?

Here's what Amazon told my colleagues at 9NEWS.

"Amazon believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable. Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts, however, we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions."

I disagree with him...

I'm not sure I agree... seems like journalists, whether you work for MSNBC or FOX, should not be contributing to political campaigns -- and certainly not ones they just interviewed.

Bridges to Nowhere

Bridges to Nowhere

Comments after our story last night (about the so-called Bridges to Nowhere) varied. I was a bit surprised by how many people said the landowner, who didn’t want to sell his ranchland for a four-lane highway, was only after money.

Many of you thought the interchange and bridges were a waste.

Plenty of people told us in our live chat that they were happy CDOT was thinking ahead and building the road before it traffic counts demanded it. An equal number were unhappy with CDOT.

Here are a couple comments…

“That was a very solid, thoughtful, fair and middle of the road (if you will excuse the pun) piece that you reported on air last night,” Thomas McNeill, the attorney for the land owner e-mailed me.

Kurt Klein wrote to me saying he didn’t care if he missed the story. He ended up watching it and seemed to agree with CDOT’s road plan.

“With the economy at an ebb, maybe now is the time for some jurisdictions to consider investing in future infrastructure.” Klein said.

Klein also seemed to indicate he doesn’t care for my reporting very much.

What an amazing story tonight. No matter what you are doing right now, it's worth watching. My colleague, Dave Delozier, did an excellent job.
