Now there are legitimate differences on how one would interpret that information but in the final analysis one will be left with two impressions. Its not unusual to buy more than once in TV and it always works out well. The following sections sports, Local, Lifestyle pretty much reported on various activities and social events here. As to its political bent since the majority of the nation's population is center to right I perceive its political flavor to match the population
Back to my opening statement, I understand it and I have no bias either way but it is very difficult not to notice this big white elephant standing in the middle of the room. This once again is only an honest observation, nothing more

I don't view it as having pull. The owner/developer owned businesses and objectives being promoted by the developer owned (used to be but still in the family yet) paper.
Nothing wrong with that as long as one recognizes the pecking order and priorities. A good example is if you know anybody who has a business in TV that competes with one owned by the developer/the family/rlatives/et al.....just ask them if the coverage factor is a level playing field....NOT....and not so subtle about it.....again not negative just a fact of the environment.....good, bad or indifferent.
To me the Daily Sun is sort of like getting a program to a sporting or entertainment event....not meant to be a negative comment.
