Kentucky Lifts Ban on Conservative Blog… But Not Others

The great Kentucky blog ban gets stickier.

As I reported Wednesday, the Kentucky Commonwealth Office of Technology justified their decision to block state employees from reading blogs by saying that they’d decided to block the entire category. All blogs. This despite the fact that there seemed to be selectivity in who was blocked and who wasn’t.

Well, this seals it.

A conservative blogger got a personal assurance yesterday that state employees would no longer be blocked from reading his blog.

And yet the block goes on for other blogs. It’ll be interesting to hear what innovative criteria the administration will use as justification for this decision.
