It is a "house organ", meaning it was something that originally was intended to assist in selling homes. It is undoubtedly the best place to find a home to buy or rent in The Villages. It was never intended to complete with Orlando or Tampa in news content.
Most "news" content is local.....as it should be.
If there is a "negative" story about The Villages, you will not read it.
Editorial content will always be 100% bias to one side. Along with presentation of national and international news.
SO, when folks call it bias......yeah it is....the owner and developer are one in the same. The mission is to BE BIAS .
It was never intended to give you unbiased news coverage.
I have asked why people say it is bias, with no luck.
You need to accept it for what it is.

When we first moved here we got a subscription and silly us thought it was a real newspaper dedicated to publish the "news".
Until recently thought it was really publishing the news. Now that we know more we understand it is owned by the developer and will print the "facts" as the developer decides them to be.
We will still get the paper as the info on what is going on around here is worth it to us but IMHO it is biased.
