Another challenge would be to have someone write a letter to the editor that is developer or Villages negative.

You are right about the Republican slant of The Daily Sun. The Orlando Sentinel has a Democratic slant. The Boston Globe has a slant, The New York Times has a slant, and it depends on what you are used to or whether that is your slant if you agree with it or if you see a slant or not. I lived all of my life in the midwest and The Daily Sun mirrors The Columbus Dispatch and the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Indianapolis paper in it's political leanings and in their picks of editorial writers.
HOWEVER, I disagree with you that The Daily Sun fails to have news of sinkholes, crimes and even printed the news of the The Morses being sited for hunting violations in Montana. It prints the police blotter with all three counties arrests. It has had several articles about the Trayvon Martin shooting. I read it through every day.
It is owned by the Morse family and the Morse family's business is to sell houses. They are also large contributors to the Republican party and only invite Republican candidates to speak here. NEVER Democratic candidates. We are all old enough to figure that out. I personally have no problem with the Sun. And since an overwhelming majority of people here agree with the politics, it does just fine.
