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!

And may I add, ask questions or do whatever else you can to find out the "truth", if something disturbs you. Don't be quick to assume that life in The Villages is perfect, or that an evil plot is afoot. Judge for yourself if living here suits you. In other words, keep your eyes open, while enjoying your life.
