I find it amusing that people still believe that media has a moral compass!

One reason we still subscribe is something light to read while having breakfast.

Does give some news about what is going on around here.

And they do have some interesting columnists like Walter _____. Last name escapes me.

Yep .... canceled it 2 years ago. I don't miss it one iota. The DS isn't even a good fish wrapper.

Yes, that's the worrying part, Jayhawk :icon_wink:

My original post started with a warning not to continue unless you wanted to read another of my anti-newspaper diatribes.

Ignore my warnings at your peril :)

I will cancel the newspaper, it is a worthless rag. Now that they will be burning the recycling instead of recycling, it is more of an incentive to cancel. Less garbage to deal with.

The inherent conflict in The Sun is that the majority of Villagers call themselves Conservatives. And the wire-service news source is Associated Press - an obvious left-of-center media outlet. Having been here only three years I don't know if this is capable of being remedied - but I'll keep reading the IMPRESSIVE local paper, knowing its news IS shaded Pink.

What is REALLY strange about the paper is that years ago they eliminated "Doonesberry" from its comics section. I NEVER forgave them for that atrocity. They were afraid politically of a LITTLE BIDDY comic strip. So narrow minded, typical. SAD !

Walter Williams .... great editorialist, and speaker. Sadly, passed away the other week.

On the other hand, look at the good side of the newspaper......
something to line your parrot or parakeet cage with.

Haven't for a year and a half

What your source?
 
Alright, we mostly agree TV Daily is weak. Among those of you who still like to read a newspaper everyday, what do you get? Nothing? Or do you get all your "objective" news reporting online or from television and internet sources? Incidentally, I read both the POA and HOA monthlies and get some sense of balance and truth about Villages goings on from doing that.

Canceled
 
I canceled the Sun and have the Orlando Sentinel deliver daily. My husband and I are much happier with the Sentinel.

I would like only Wednesdays and Sundays. I wonder if this is an option. Does anyone know?
