“What becomes of publishing companies and publishing company jobs? What becomes of bookstores and libraries, and all of the jobs associated with paper? Well, in the not-too-distant future, such jobs simply won’t exist,” he said.

Publishing companies, bookstores, libraries...by necessity have limited catalogs/stock. And that limited output/stock is often controlled by liberals. What Jesse Jr. is really lamenting here is the true freedom of information afforded by the internet. His poppa must regale him with stories about how things were in the pre-internet days when the lies of the left were buffed and polished by the old media and few means of successfully countering them.

With our current administration wishing for the kind of control over our internet access the Chinese have over thier citizens it could come a day when the days of "freedom of information" were when books were printed, and the government couldn't monitor which ones you own, have read, and whether you gave or loaned them to someone else.
