It's funny that you brought this up today. After reading that story AGAIN, I was considering contacting the paper and asking them why they do this over and over. It's poor editorial management. That was probably the tenth time I've seen a repeat story in the paper in just a year.

I don't understand your point. It was above the fold front page news.

Try reading the recreation section or pick up a free copy at a rec center. Very informative advertising. No activities to list. And we pay lots of amenity fee $ for the pleasure. Are we smart or what???

The Daily Sun is not The New York Times. All print journalism is waning all over this country.

However after reading the jabs and criticisms and some from new people who had more than one comment I think they would be happier getting a subscription to The Orlando Sentinel or The Tampa Bay Times or The Miami Herald as they have the editorial slant you are more used to.

The Daily Sun does have it's front page news on the second page and does get and print National and international news there to.

It echoes the editorial opinion of the majority of people who live HERE.

On the other hand, look at the good side of the newspaper......

Sorry to hear this. Loved his column.

Totally agree!

Complaining has become a favorite past time. Our local newspaper, while I don't agree with politically, usually reports the news in a fair and honest way. The Sun does not support conspiracy theories from the right.
If you don't like the news, it a simple solution, don't take the newspaper. Either way, who are you to complain.

While I agree that most of the national news is dated, let’s keep in mind that this is a local paper geared toward course population. It focuses on local activities and our community and in that respect I believe it does an excellent job. I also think the paper has a strong sports section.

The first thing I do when preparing my return to TVs is to make sure the paper is in my drive that morning. Refreshing news about life in TVs.

Please! I get enough if their BS.

Maybe, just maybe , you should stop your service🤪

Thank you for your many suggestions to cancel the newspaper but I have no intention of so doing. I have taken it for ten years and find many aspects of it to be of interest.

Obviously not the numerous photos of residents' grandchildren doing cute things - I don't even know most of the residents; why would I be even remotely interested in their grandchildren? Makes life easy for the newspaper, though, if they can get other people to provide free copy.

Nor the banality that fills D2 every day - 'Bob Smith swings his pickleball bat and puts a looping return over the net. "I play for ninety minutes every day", says Bob, before returning to his game'. Fascinating stuff, reading about someone else's pickleball game.

Pages of back to school photographs of kids we don't know? No thank you.

But I do enjoy reading most of the news, and the comic page is my favorite, so I consider the price of the newspaper worth paying to have it delivered every morning.

And in case you are worried that repeat stories are raising my blood pressure, I enjoy finding them like others enjoy finding hidden words in a grid. Whatever floats your boat, eh? Long may they keep coming - and I'm sure they will.

That option is available. 2 quarters on Wednesday and 4 on Sunday at your closest Daily Sun paper wending machine.

Better yet try online https://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/ and save the quarters.

Since The Daily Sun gets its main news from wire services they are sometimes 3 days old when they finally get to print.its not a newspaper but a real estate RAG.

Apparently the original post was nothing more than an exercise in Pot Stirring, since you are not really "anti-newspaper".
