A county commission in Florida agreed with President Donald Trump that the New York Times prints “fake news,” citing the president while rejecting a proposal to provide funding for a library system to subscribe to the paper.

The Citrus County Commission made the decision on Oct. 24, the same day that Trump’s White House told federal agencies to not renew subscriptions to The New York Times or The Washington Post; the White House halted subscriptions to both papers in late October.
