The Newtown Bee is a bastion of hope in the terms of their reporting. The staff and crew there are top notch, and uphold an integrity that is rare in today’s media. That said, they aren’t paid any money from major advertisers. They love their job, they love their town, and it suits their agenda to just report truthfully, stand behind their facts, and get those facts in a way that is congruent with journalistic integrity. I always give kudos to Shannon Hicks - Who takes no opportunity to spread her own views on anything. She and her staff simply report things.
All people have been asked to refrain from making statements or talking about the case until such time that facts are all straightened out. This is common practice. Whenever it comes to crime it’s in the playbook to not discuss things outside of official channels or in an active court of law. That’s common practice.
The topic getting very cumbersome these days. And I’m not a towny, not someone who is a socialite. I frequent the coffee shop and the highway. Anything else in between isn’t part of my routine. I’m typical in that fashion. We just aren’t a tight knit community. My other town in PA is tight knit. But in CT, it’s just a bunch of people with nice television sets. No one really knows their neighbors.
Again, an informative post which I appreciate.
Thanks -- that's all good to know.
And if people in Newtown have been asked to refrain from making statements, then I think that those outside of there can refrain from demanding statements, and making accusations about an investigation that they are clearly serious about.
In my neck of Newtown we have nice telvision sets too, but we also know our neighbors (for the most part), have them over, go over, do things together, etc.
