The "other" paper relishes in offering up stories about anything negative about TV, especially crime. Most of the crime stories they run wouldn't even get a passing glance in a newspaper in (pick any big city). Every newspaper has editorial/publisher bias.
The incident does not change my perception of safety in The Villages one little bit. Of all the places I have lived, TV is, by far, the safest and most crime free.

Very true. Everyone knows that the Daily Sunshine Pumper is not going to publish bad things. But on the other hand, the owner of the other site is a disgruntled former employee of the Daily Sunshine Pumper and is obviously hellbent on making the villages look bad. So, you have both extremes feeding you news.
Sadly, most of the sensationalistic crimes headlined on the other site aren't even in The Villages.
