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?

We're apolitical so the political slant doesn't matter one iota.
It's more the human interest stories and other sections of the newspaper that interest us. The Boston Globe always had great writers.......
I grew up reading all of the New York City newspapers as my dad would buy all the morning editions and evening editions plus the New Jersey papers where we lived.......he was a big newspaper reader......as was my Irish stepdad. There was no 24 hour t.v. news in those days.....so everyone looked forward to the newspapers.
