Greenwich Time Reporter Frank "The Sneak" MacEachern Edits And Adds To A Greenwich Time News Story, But Fails To Indicate That The Original Article Was Updated
Greenwich Time Reporter Frank "The Sneak" MacEachern Was So Sloppy He Forgot To Change The Date At 2 AM This Morning

You Just Can't Trust Greenwich Time Reporting:
In the original story Superintendent of Schools Sidney Freund said he 10 parents and residents had complained and didn't want Obama's inspirational speech shown in the Greenwich Public Schools.
Superintendent Freund then said he only got 5 emails supporting the president's address to children.
The mentioning of the five supporting Obama's Inspirational Address has now been revised in the story as Superintendent Freund backtracks from his original statement.....
"Freund, who pointed out that five others either wrote or e-mailed the district to support the speech being broadcast, rejected the claim that the criticism played a role in the decision to delay the showing of the speech.
"My decision wasn't based on a poll of people," he said.
BUSTED:
Then Frank "The Sneak" MacEachern who supposedly posted this story 30 hours ago, but only published it in the paper today added this new material to the story:
........Ellen Taylor, a writer for a Greenwich-based investment newsletter, dismissed Freund's explanation.
"It was clear to me that the superintendent did back off because they got a lot of (criticism)," the Norwalk resident said. "Why are they bowing to pressures from a few right-wing people, or in other matters a few left-wing people? They should be honest to their mission of educating children."......
Taylor obtained an internal district e-mail that Greenwich Public Schools would not show the speech live, prompting her to fax a letter criticizing the decision to Deputy Superintendent of Schools Ellen Flanagan, Taylor said.....
Even More Updated Material Was Added To
Frank "The Sneak" MacEachern's
Original Greenwich Time Story :
......State Commissioner of Education Mark K. McQuillan sent a memo to school superintendents Friday calling the furor over the president's speech "truly unfortunate," "inaccurate" and "beyond the definition of responsible civil discourse."
McQuillan reviewed the materials relating to Obama's speech and said most of his themes are consistent with the messages delivered to the nation's young people from previous presidents, such as Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. They largely focus on the importance of staying in school and working hard, graduating and going to college. Along with the speech, the federal Department of Education has issued suggestions for activities and guided discussions, such as, "What is the President trying to tell me?" and "What resonated with you from President Obama's speech?"
While a decision on whether to watch the speech is a local matter, McQuillan urged local school boards and districts to give every consideration to providing students access to the address in a away that provides respect to the Office of the President.......

Also Added This......
.....Connecticut Department of Education spokesman Thomas Murphy said, "We don't see this as a great departure from the past, and the fact is it's welcome and we hope will be shown. It's really important to have our first African American president speak to our inner-city students.".....
Now Greenwich Superintendent of Schools
Sidney Freund Is Singing A whole new tune:
......Freund, of the Greenwich Public Schools, said there were questions about how the speech would be handled in the classroom, with some suggesting it could be politicized.
"We are sensitive to those concerns," he said, but added the president is talking about issues the district's educators speak about every day.
"I'm viewing it as a motivational speech by our nation's leader telling our students to study hard," he said. "It's one that we consistently deliver in school and it's being reinforced by the president."........
BY THE WAY:
The Editors At The Connecticut Post Have Higher Journalistic Standards Than The Editors Of The Greenwich Time. They Have The Same Story With The True Posting Time And Indicate That The Article Has Been Updated:
Staff and wire reports
Updated: 09/04/2009 11:29:33 PM EDT
The national furor over President Barack Obama's televised back-to-school speech to the nation's students has boiled over to a number of school districts in the region.
Greenwich Public Schools decided Friday to delay the showing of the speech to students. The decision came after the district received criticism from some who say the speech, to be delivered at noon Tuesday, is an example of Obama trying to promote a political agenda, taking the federal government too far into public school business.
Superintendent of Schools Sidney Freund said 10 residents and parents objected to the speech being broadcast in the school system.
Freund, who pointed out that five others either wrote or e-mailed the district to support the speech being broadcast, rejected the claim that the criticism played a role in the decision to delay the showing of the speech.
"My decision wasn't based on a poll of people," he said. ..... blah ..... blah ..... blah ..... blah ..... blah ..... blah ..... blah ......
