11/18/09 Letters from Greenwich Time Readers - Trial by tabloid

To the editor:

I can see no merit whatsoever in making Coach Burke's DUI trial a front-page five-column story (Nov. 18). The man has paid his dues with the school, his players and their parents. He now faces a judge in a courtroom and does not deserve the Trial by Tabloid being foisted off on your readers.

This is one of a series of recent front-page articles designed to, I assume, titillate your subscribers. It has the opposite effect on this reader.

It is sad to watch our community newspaper sink to this low form of journalism. It is sure to cost you subscribers.
