[Publib] Libraries on Keith Olbermann's Countdown

I'm watching Countdown, a daily show on MSNBC. Apparently they placed hidden 
cameras around the Cleveland library (I don't know what branch or whatever). 
The cameras were focused on what people were looking at on the computers. I 
don't know if it was with or without library permission, but I see a great 
problem in the press knowing what people are looking at on the computer.

Or course as it turns out, they caught a guy "pleasuring" himself in the 
library. Apparently he had done it years ago and had returned and the 
library manager (I think) said she didn't know he was doing it again.

They also cited all the negative events that happened in the area libraries 
over the last year or so (I was doing two things at once, so I didn't get it 
all). Lots of negative press for libraries. Too bad they skipped the good 
stuff, other than a few seconds at the beginning.

They have other videos on the website, so maybe this one will appear as 
well. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/

If people are catching this at the right time, it should be on again at 
around 9:30 Pacific and 12:30 East Coast time. (The show starts at 9 Pacific 
and 12 Eastern.)
