I call it the good times paper. I wish every town had at least one good times paper. With all the large papers leaning left, what's wrong with the developers bragging about all that is good here? I know there is more NEWS out there, If I want regional or national news there is plenty of places to go. If I want he died, or she killed someone, or they got robbed or raped, or there was an earthquake, or every problem in the world is Americas fault, There is plenty to be had. This is America if you see a need in tv start your own paper, If not let me have some good news while here in the bubble. Benj
I'm confused. I really enjoy the Daily Sun for what it is within our community, and for sure we all know that it's not a national or even a regional paper which indeed we can easily find when we want world, national, and regional news, important in the sense that we may feel that TV is a 'bubble' but our lives are very much impacted by things beyond TV.

But what does this have to do with "all the large papers leaning left"? Who ever said that "every problem in the world is America's fault" [my emphasis]? What does this have to do with the Daily Sun as our local community newspaper? And what if "he died, or she killed someone, or they got robbed or raped" takes place right here in our 'bubble'? Should our local paper report the reality within our community, or should it be only a 'they lived happily ever after' presentation? Am I missing something? Someone help me out, please--thanks!
