He cites the wacko woman who yelled "white power", but no mention of the total nut job who has been arrested multiple times for stalking a Trump supporter
He referred to TV as a "MAGA circus"
Here's another excerpt:
"Even seniors who have no business driving anymore zip around like teenage joy riders, say
residents. Crashes are not uncommon, and visitors are warned to watch out for bad drivers — and drunk ones. One afternoon during my
visit, Marsha Shearer, a board member for the Democratic club, emails that a friend and fellow board member had witnessed a doozy of a
wreck by what appeared to be a highly intoxicated driver. “She was also an anti-vaxxer and a very belligerent Trumper who kept
screaming over and over again ‘I’m not vaccinated’” and cursing President Biden, the friend, Sue Dubman, reported. The police
eventually came to deal with the mess."
And this one:
"And for years, the community has fought its reputation (based in
part on a 2008 book) as a den of sexual iniquity, where seniors get jiggy in golf carts and S.T.D.s run rampant."
Or this:
"Here, baby boomers still reign supreme, in a place that caters to some of their most self-absorbed, self-indulgent impulses. "
He even managed to work in the myth of "climate change" into his article
Now, please tell me how this article was not biased again.

For those readers who don’t know where the garbage about STDs came from, somewhere before 2008, a scurrilous British gossip rag, similar to the National Enquirer in this country, blared the news (partially correct, actually) that STDs in The Villages had gone up 50%. As this titillating gossip was too good to pass up, it was picked up and passed on like a nasty infection around the world, and it continues to infect newspapers.
The TRUTH is that the number of cases of ONE STD, gonorrhea, reported by law to the county health department, did go up 50% in ONE MONTH, years ago. But it went up FROM TWO CASES TO THREE CASES, which is indeed 50%. What was NOT mentioned was that cases in surrounding cities generally number—adjusted for size—at least TEN TIMES HIGHER! The truth is that sexual transmission of diseases is exceedingly low in The Villages. It’s true that urinary tract infections are pretty common, but they are ones due to medical issues, not sexual transmission.
