Greenwich Diva
Are Greenwich newspapers fair when reporting police blotters?
Just asking a question. I notice a pattern with the Greenwich newspapers, it seems that the only domestic disputes that they print are for people in Bryam, Pemberwick and sometimes Cos Cob, but never in Backcountry, mid-country, Belle Haven or Mead Point.

As a Backcountry resident, I know that domestic disputes takes place here. I have friends and acquaintances who have called the police many times for domestic abuse and many times a spouse is taken away in hand cuffs, and I never see their names or addresses in the papers.
Are Greenwich newspapers afraid of some wealthy Backcountry resident suing them? .....

Police blotter - Greenwich Time
21 Comments And Growing....

Hopelessly biased Greenwich Time fails to mention Wiffle Ball connection, so readers must report the truth....

No wonder Greenwich Time editor David Warner want to ban the comments of frustrated readers who are tired of the one sided reporting in the local rag....

A family that fights together, stays together! Lesson one kids, road rage doesn't pay!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go!!! You should be sooooooo proud!!! Way to set an example for your kids!!!!

This Atkinson family is REALLY freakin' CRAZY. No wonder Gallagher feared for his safety!!!

...Those silly fighting tresspassers

Wow! Total vindication for P, Mrs. P and Mr. G!! Looks like the Atkinson family made another "mistake." Now the victim of their latest crime gets to be anonymous. How does it feel? More great parenting, Mr. A.!! Maybe it's time to start hanging out with people your own age. After all, wiffle ball really should be reserved for the 12 and under crowd.

Once again no one has the facts. Poor Mrs P and Galligar. Their day is coming this week. So sad evryone feels so bad for her. The more you contiue to slander the family the deeper you piss them off so watch who gets arrested now.Great Job Feeling safe in Riverside

I think that the Atkinson family does a good job slandering their own name. They don't need any help.

You obviously dont know them, but of course you will enjoy watching the people you are trying to protect be escorted away this week.

It will all be over soon

They couldn't find a school yard, so the McDonald's parking lot will do.

If you knew the circumstances, you would do the same thing

Why is the police blotter always the most viewed story in the Greenwich Time?

Because people love this crap.Anyone still debating the "nature vs. nurture" argument - heredity vs enviornment..........this story should help clear that up - it's BOTH!! What a family - all acting as one tiny-brained organism.

The man is 50 years old. If he couldn't call his sons,or if he was far away from home, would he confront anyone, especially being outnumbered?

etc., etc., etc., etc.........

Greenwich Time reporting is so bad. You often have to read the comments to get the real story behind the filtered puff piece....

Greenwich News
You're Gonna Get Banned
...Now, you might ask, is some of this subjective judgment on our part, about what's acceptable and what's not? Yes. Not all curse words are created equal for instance. My advice: Don't use any of them. In fact, don't say anything in reader comments you wouldn't say to your mother at dinner.
Some of you, I sense, are emboldened because your comments are anonymous, carrying only the screen names you've chosen. Even then, however, we reserve the option of not only pulling an offending comment from the site, but of banning a user from posting again. It's not something we would do lightly. But we're willing to do it so that the vast majority of you who play nice....
But David Warner is probably not aware of the Greenwich Times long history of censorship in town.....
