In light of the discussion of blogs, I thought I'd note this recent story about the Govenor of Kentucky's move to block access to a popular blog critical of his administration from all state office computers.
BluegrassReport.org:
"I'm getting flooded with e-mails and a couple of phone calls from readers in other cabinets -- and other elected constitutional offices -- that the site has been blocked. But what's interesting is there's no problem allowing state workers to access the Republican Party of Kentucky or Fox News or Drudge Report or at least one conservative Kentucky blog."
UPDATE 3/22: The state breaucracy has responded to the charges stating that the evening and morning of the 21st they installed new web software designed to block access to whole categories of websites that department officials determined to be outside the bounds of work (this did NOT include news websites mind you). And as for why some rightist political blogs could be accessed and not particular leftist blogs like BluegrassReport, well the claim is that "their internet filtering service Webwatcher is to blame for that, not the governor's office."
