The Daily Sun is owned by the Morse family who are Republicans and the Orlando Sentinel is owned by a Democrat entity. If you know these basics, it helps to sort the two out.

GG, I agree with you on the first part of what you wrote about so-called 'journalism' that sells papers. However--and maybe I'm really naive when I say this--I don't see the focus of this thread--an article appearing in the
Orlando Sentinel that would
never appear in the
Daily Sun--as being Republican versus Democrat. I agree with Talk Host that a primary purpose of the
Daily Sun, owned by the developer of TV, is to sell houses in TV (not rocket science...). This being the case, you can be sure that any article that might show 'warts' (and for goodness sakes, there isn't a place in the world that doesn't have them!) will not appear in the
Daily Sun, whereas what is published in the
Orlando Sentinel is not similarly controlled by the developer of TV.
If one wants to live completely Pollyanna style, then read only the
Daily Sun. If one wants to see the 'warts,' then read only the
Orlando Sentinel. And for those who want the "fair and balanced" picture that Benj mentioned in his post, then read both!
