Lexington Herald Leader: A Kentucky State Police spokesman stirred First Amendment controversy last week when he sent an email to the Mountain Advocate newspaper and a Bell County radio station demanding that they wait for KSP press releases before publishing anything about ongoing investigations.
“…From this point forward when KSP is working an investigation, you are to wait until OUR (KSP) press release is sent out before putting anything out on social media, radio, and newspaper,” the KSP spokesman said in an email. “No more posting inaccurate information from Sheriff’s or anyone else.”
