Letter: Newspaper's headline was biased, not objective

Posted

To the editor:

Let’s dump more on the volunteers. 

It is regretful that Josh (Bickford) opted for sensationalism rather than objective reporting. It has become obvious that there is an amazingly strong sentiment among seniors regarding income confidentiality. His handling of today’s Barrington Times headline isn’t “the biggest screw-up I’ve ever seen.” But this isn’t how the paper used to be run and the headline chosen isn’t unbiased and objective either.

Please pass my regrets to your committee members and my expressed support to the town council. No good deed goes unpunished.

Mr. Peterson wrote this letter to Barrington Town Council member Steven Boyajian, who is also chairman of the ad hoc tax exemption committee. He also shared it with the Barrington Times.
