My husband and I grew up with The Columbus Dispatch, and then for forty years had the Cincinnati Enquirer and between the two read the Indianapolis Times for a few years.

They all had the same editorial/political slant as The Daily Sun.

It is all in what you are used to as far as political slant.

All major papers have the same sources for national news such as Associated Press, Reuters, and..I can't think of the third one.
Mc...?????

Now print journalism is not anywhere near the first source for most of us for news. Yesterday Senior, you were sending out news flashes and we were seeing them in real time on all three major television networks which had suspended programming to broadcast live from the scene in Boston. We are amazingly connected in this country.

Most East Coast cities have similar political slants to their newspapers and that feels familiar to people from that area and so The Daily Sun's is unfamiliar to them and irritating.

Did I avoid being political?
