Isn't it reasonable, for members to voice their displeasure of their own subjects?

Gosh knows, it is done on a plethora of other issues/subjects...by those who defend the paper.

Here is the way I view this question....if I buy a comic book, I know what I will be reading. It won't be a novel like War and Peace. When I buy the Daily Sun I know that it is a "local, small town" paper...it's not the WallStreet Journal and I don't expect it to be. We lived in a suburb of Atlanta and I bought the Atlanta Journal Constitution for world news. I bought our local Cherokee Ledger to keep up with what was happening in our community. Both papers gave me value. The Daily Sun is our "small town" local interest Publication. They don't claim to be anything else. You don't go to a hardware store to buy bread. Don't buy the Daily Sun and expect US News and World Report. They ARE a "Newspaper". It is the news of what is happening here in the Villages. That news is of interest to many of us.
