I was trying to stay out of this fray BUT twice now there has been a reference to 2/3rd's of the residents supporting the paper, etc etc. This is the kind of statistical misbehavior that leads to on going propaganda. The question is when was the survey taken, who and how was it controlled, where is the supporting data base that can be reviewed, etc. It is not only misleading to assert a statistic that has no support behind it but to do so with unfounded authority.

Well, they are editorials (a newspaper article written by or on behalf of an editor that gives an opinion on a topical issue.) written by known syndicated columnists. Not sure what you believe an editorial actually is.

From my NY days faithfully reading the NY Times would call it an op ed piece.

To me an editorial is written by an employee of the paper giving the opinion of the newspaper.

As a faithful daily reader of the Times, I can only say....this "ain't" New York"


Again, while folks simply ignore this fact...

Daily Sun is a house organ. It has a goal of assisting in house sales. It is not, nor never was intended to "compete" with "real" newspapers.

It reflects the developer and his likes and dislikes. If a story is carried on the wire, that he doesn't like or doesn't want you to se...you won't. The developer is a political activist....if it is newsworthy but not in his interest, you will not see it.

This is not a criticism, but making comparisons of the Daily Sun to any other publication begun to distribute news is fool hardy.

The Daily Sun is what it is.....you will never ever see equality in the coverage. News is defined as what serves the developer.

Again, not criticizing the paper because it does not pretend to be a competitor of other papers. It has a captive amount of subscribers. The "editorial" content is purchased, i.e. Subscribed to, along with the right wing cartoons. All will fit the developers desired message.

PS...I read it each morning, but do not expect even a modicum of actual news.

Unfortunately, when it comes to mass media or social media, every production is biased. The days of reporting the news (and not their opinion) has been replaced with "what sells" and "political correctness". The closest thing to non biased news is on DirectTV channel 15 at 6 PM, an american new report out of Paris, France.....non opinionated and non biased.

Please name one unbiased newspaper or network

You are exactly right in your opinions. I often scoff at the online version.

Since you appear to be "down" on every news source, may I ask how you keep well informed ?

And if you respond and have time, tell me what you dislike about the Times...please don't say it liberal because that is trite, overused and not factual...I am speaking of news coverage.

Waiting for the background of a survey that proved 2/3rd of Residents support the Sun? I
have a concern when "fake news" or "fake Statistics" are used to mislead. It just leads to
more intellectual dishonesty and that is the last thing we need in todays world. If it's true
show the facts and I will be the first one to support the assertion. If it is false say so.

Yeah, I often wonder why they never moved forward on that, but it simply points out what I have been saying.

Selling houses has always been the thrust of that publication.....of course, the ads help the economy also.

I suppose selling homes works better with print media.

That’s why I do not get folks wasting their time complaining on here about bias. I am watching baseball right now, and just thinking that complains about bias in the Daily Sun is like complains about all the ads for Rays para in the scorebook you just bought. They don’t care....their business is baseball. Daily Sun does not care their business is whatever purpose the developer wants it to be. It isn’t going to eat into subscriptions.
