WFPL - Gov. Fletcher banning State employees from viewing political blogs

[Roland99]

Fletcher is banning State employees from viewing political blog websites while at work. Justification being the State has strict guidelines on internet usage being work-related only. Understandable but interesting Fletcher points out political blogs only.


Hmmm....

As you know, our governor, Ernie Fletcher, is so scared for his governorship that he has decided that no state employee is allowed to read a Democratic blog on the job.

This is Day #2 of the KY Blog Ban and us bloggers are united!

Below the cut is an updated list of sites that are still accessible on state computers.

dsolzman's diary :: ::
Mark may be taking the lead on this fight, which is very far from over, and he shows a list of sites that are still not blocked from state computers while a majority of Democratic sites are.

Drudge Report
The Republican National Committee's blog
Rush Limbaugh
Hugh Hewitt
Hot Air
Captains Quarters
Outside the Beltway

First, they went after the Democrats in merit positions. Then, they went after the Democratic bloggers.
