This afternoon, Governor Matt Bevin decided it would be a pleasant thing to do to invite members of the media into his office for a “round table” interview. Well, sort of.
Press from the outer provinces were invited, but the Frankfort Press Corps was told they were not welcome. Reporters from such outlets as the Courier-Journal, Herald-Leader, Associated Press and Kentucky Public Radio were neither allowed in, nor allowed to call in, an option offered to others.
This probably shouldn’t come as a surprise, as this is the same man who one month ago released a social media diatribe against the Courier-Journal, which accused the newspaper of “[pretending] that it’s an actual news organization or a publication.” Yes, that’s the same 10-time Pulitzer Prize winning Courier-Journal that is the largest newspaper in the state with a daily circulation of almost 90,000. We’re sure it’s not as reputable as a weekly publication in Podunk Holler though.
