I appreciate your answering for someone else. Would still like to hear his answer. I could care less about the paper. I believe the poster I responded to has great disdain for the paper and the developer. That was why I posed the question to him.

Your question was actually rhetorical.

you are treating the sun as a newspaper, it is a daily sales tool for the developer and a way for residents to get event dates and coupons....nothing more.

By reading both Fox News and CNN, one can see many different views on things. Is it the truth many times depends upon your perspective. I read that other online local Village news site which can't be mentioned here for a different view on things. I enjoy reading both!

In the Villages Daily Sun a lot of the serious cases involving various crimes in the Villages show the picture of the person accused and sometimes the address. Often they will just print the Village the defendant lives in and not the address.

Murders/attempted murders and suicides do often show the address or at least the Village.

All newspapers have some bias. I try to look at a large variety if I am interested in getting a better picture of the facts of some matter.

I would like to pose a simple question concerning the Daily Sun. We all know that the POA has in fact taken on some issues that were settled in the favor of the Residents. Has any reader of the Daily Sun "EVER" read anything in the Daily Sun that complimented a positive effort of the POA.

I think the Daily Sun is a very comprehensive reporter of news of any kind and in every area home and abroad, far superior to the daily paper in our former area which was so bad we did not buy it.

The Daily Sun is what it is. I read it everyday I'm in TV and enjoy it. Like many others I also read other newspapers mostly on-line. "I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first is to be flexible at all times". Anonymous

Unhappy Is there no limit to the lies

It is critical to recognize the absolute lies being printed as opposed to the "TRUTH. In the Daily Sun today it was reported that 6 members of the POA and the attorney's received $7M dollars from the $40M awarded in the last Lawsuit where the Developer got caught with his hands in the Cooker Jar.
How many read that lie and believed that 6 were equal partners in the $7M awarded by the courts ? I will bet a lot actually believed that and that is the way Tutt and the Daily Sun wanted you to believe it. Well the truth the Courts awarded $7M to the Attorneys and ZERO to the 6 who devoted their time and personal funds so the Historical Section could have a good Paradise Rec Center and the assurance the Developer would have to maintain additional Villages property by ordering $40M penalty. The attorney's split $6.7M among themselves and provided $300K to the 6 ($50K per) in order to repay some of the monies they personally invested to help the Historical District, et al and to help pay for some of their time spent on the problem(s). That was at the discretion of the Attorney's with no expectation by the 6!
NOW DOES THAT SOUND LIKE THE 6 WERE PART OF A $7m SPLIT LIKE THE DAILY SUN AND TUTT WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE. IT IS OUTRAGES AND DISHONEST TO USE ANY METHOD POSSIBLE NOT EVEN SHORT OF A LIE TO TRY TO DESTROY THE POA. IT IS DISGUSTING. TO ADD TO THIS THEY WENT ON TO SAY THE POA WAS AFTER MONEY IN THE LATEST LAWSUIT. TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT AND SEE ANYWHERE THE POA WAS TO BE PAID ANYTHING.. JUST PLAIN LIES.

This mornings article since it was a failed lawsuit against the developer not only does it give names they even put his picture in there.
I am curious why you need to know the address of a village criminal? Wouldn't the name and village be enough? I do agree that a picture and name would be helpful.

Better yet, why pay for a newspaper that you think is biased. It's kind of like liberals watching fox news

I get all my news from the National Enquirer. Where else will you hear that Dr Phil is getting divorced and Hillary has brain cancer?

Yes, but as a world class neurosurgeon, Ben Carson can surgically replace his brain
