Question:
The DVD and Book 2,000 Mules - Some staff are asking if this is now a discredited work, and should it be removed from library collections, following a successful lawsuit and settlement resulting in the media company responsible for publishing the book and DVD issuing an apology, halting distribution of the film, and removing both the film and book from its platforms. What does everyone think?
Background:
The media company responsible for publishing the book and DVD, used by many to advance or support the conspiracy theory that democrats stole the 2020 election, has issued an apology and said it would halt distribution of the film and remove both the film and book from its platforms. This was done following a successful lawsuit and settlement by/to Mark Andrews, a voter from Georgia who was falsely depicted illegally voting in the movie who received death threats as a result.
