Which is the best of the local news sources? An unanswerable question really, one that haunts non-local news sources as well. Every one seems to have an agenda. The Sun (AKA Pravda South) is an unabashed apologist for The Developer. Same thing, more or less, can be said of WVLG. Villages News is allegedly run by a disaffected former employee of the Sun: if any story reflects negatively on The Villages on on Villagers you can bet the farm that Villages News will run it. The Gazette? Don't read it enough to really have an opinion.

As far as unbiased sources of local news goes, both the guy across the street and a former Leesburg cop I know seem to have a pretty good handle on what is going on.
