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!

I just love to read what you have to say and can't wait to meet you. You are always so fair and that is such a wonderful thing to read. I always gain something from your posts. You are right as always. You make me think and frequently make me question what I thought was a correct assumption. I have changed my mind more than once after reading your observations!
