It is a decent feel good newsletter for local happenings. Good to know what local entertainment items are coming up .. not just the squares, but also the Sharon, Savannah, movies etc, which restaurants are running specials, fundraisers (like yesterdays Honor Flight at Codys Brownwood), blood drives etc .. I've also learned the word neuropathy, which seems to appear on every other page in the paper. The circulation people are outstanding, making it easy to turn delivery off and on. Unlike other people, I like the Thursday inclusion of recreation news in print, vs having to eye strain it online. Most days, its a quick ten minute scan, unless I'm having trouble with the word jumble. It's also great for short term tenants and snowbirds. I get my outside the bubble news and sports in other places.

I'm about to become a new resident.
When I've visited prior to purchasing a new home, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Daily Sun. The newspaper is quite useful for newcomers or those considering a move to The Villages. Our local Portland Oregonian pales in comparison; it is suffering like most of the newspapers across the US. Fortunately we also have home delivery here in Oregon of the Wall Street Journal and the NY Times. And online I have access to the Washington Post. Even with those newspapers available to me everyday, even when I travel, none of them reports "all the news". My only complaint with the Daily Sun is that there is not on-line, complete version of the paper. I have talked to reporters and office personnel at the Daily Sun office in Brownwood asking them why not. Thus far, it's a business decision for them. I encouraged them to consider a complete replica edition for travelers like me. I do get the daily email summary, so it helps a little. Mike |

Is the World Rugby Cup reported anywhere in the U.S.? If so, why?

Quote:
Yes, that’s why. |
We enjoy the advice columns, the puzzle page and the local news. The national news coverage is good without the fake news in most of the “real” newspapers.

I hear this term and have never had it defined. I know of very few FALSE reports in national news. Can you define and perhaps an example. Thank you |

Of course there is fake news being spread from afar and unrestrained. Facebook is a veritable load of false news. I was speaking to the accusation of "“real” newspapers." as mentioned in the post I responded to. We had congressional hearings on this subject over a few days and it was shocking to me that this is going on and meanwhile it continues. Using that term fake news when speaking of YOUTUBE , FACEBOOK, etc is accepted yet the folks using that content is increasing. i was looking for some "fake or false news" in any major legitimate newspaper as was alluded to in this thread. |

Biased sources trying to pass themselves off as unbiased journalists is rampant. I believe, to many, that is the meaning of the term fake news. And it’s everywhere every day. |
Quote:
The term seems to be reserved for opinion pieces or something that someone does not like. HOWEVER, saying a legitimate new source or newspaper MADE UP NEWS or faked news is a very very serious charge |

i will agree that the initial reporting was a bit aggressive by some but all that did that reporting have explained, apologized or what needed to be done almost immediately. I read all the reports and followed it pretty closely especially the lawsuits AND AGAIN...it was never FAKE NEWS......Legitimate news sources will always acknowledge anything reported wrongly and if it was a mistake, will "own up" immediately. I suggest you read the accusations and responses to such. especially in the lawsuit |
I am desperatrly trying to stay on topic but since I keep asking folks to provide some link or back up...I offer this on Covington and the quotes are from legal documents
"The suit claimed there were "no less than six false and defamatory articles" in the newspaper about the encounter, which had gone viral almost immediately. In his 36-page ruling, U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman examined each of the 33 statements in question and found none of them to be defamatory and the vast majority to be quoting opinion, which is protected free speech." Judge dismisses Covington Catholic student's suit against Washington Post | NCR |
