The biggest problem with that "newspaper" is that there is no "news", especially local news. There is really no good source for local news in the area.

This would apply to any newspaper as well as the "Daily Sun" which questionably should even be considered a NEWSpaper but more of an advertising arm of The Villages.

Exactly what I was going to suggest.
Gives all the dirt that is going on in The Villages that the Sun won't print.
Such as accidents, arrests, drug busts, DUI's etc.

In addition to the The Daily Sun, We have the Orlando Sentinel delivered daily despite some of the negative comments posted about it in this thread. We think the Sentinel has good local, state, and national coverage. Delivery isn’t cheap, but we think it’s worth it to read more than one point of view.

Seems like their preference is the local police blotter.

Very poor composition on most subjects.

Try Breitbart News for just the news without the editorial slant or bias. Online only. Breitbart News Network

You may have the Florida Sentinel delivered or receive it online. Currently, there is a special for three months online for $1.

Smile Ah Come On

Come on, you can't be "biased" against your self! If the paper is, as it is alleged owned by the developer then it is not "biased" as it is his way of expressing himself. The problem is the competition is in other forms of the media, (e.g. Talk of the Villages, etc) which many should but don't read. There is a contingency of residents who either work for, or have fanatical love and devotion for the developer. I have in the past supported his actions and the ability to create a community so unique and wonderful as The Villages. My positive reactions to his Management of such a complicated set of business decisions was impacted when it was brought out that he or his organization was allegedly bribing a State Legislature and he or his organization was denying some to make a living by
signing them up as Real Estate Contractors and then allegedly using them as employees. Any 1st line manager in a major corporation knows the rules on this and is warned not to allow it to happen. Because the Sun does not do investigative work and since it is well known that allegedly it is an arm of the Developer then why be surprised at its reporting. It does provide a lot of local information, sports, etc.then it is worth the subscription but it is up to the reader to separate the politics from the wheat.

EVERY newspaper reflects the philosophy/opinion of its owner/publisher. To not understand this is being naive.

Think the Times started the trend toward biased newspapers. Very sad.

True but sometimes they separate the news from the editorial page.

The Sun feels lets have the news articles be the editorials and hopefully the people reading the paper will not realize what we are doing.

Every news source is going to have a bias. It is interesting to read who owns the news.
In the 1960's there were fifty major owners of news sources today it is down to five.
