I guess I am here all alone. But happy.

Waiting for my check from Gary.:mornincoffee:

Did the Cherokee Ledger, through their op/ed pages, supposed current national events and no disclaimer otherwise...... bother to pretend that they were a real newspaper?

But hey, you're points are well taken.

Those of us who would like to see a higher standard from them, should pretty much just give it up. :shrug:

How many of those papers or others can you get home delivered in The Villages?

I, for one, can appreciate not seeing these tragedies plastered all over the Daily Sun. You can turn on any TV news station or listen to the radio for the latest and not so great news making headlines. There is so much sadness in the world these days that I cannot continuously listen or watch it everywhere. With the shootings, tornados, bombings and other disasters happening it can really take a toll on us. I don't mean to sweep anything under the rug because in my own way I mourn for these people and their families. It truly is heartbreaking. But, I also need to know the good in the world and what's going on in this "bubble" we live in. I know that when my heart gets heavy with everything I see on news TV, that when I open up the Daily Sun I can warm my heart just a bit with all the good happening here. I like all of the positive "news" in the Sun.

Small town paper or not, I still think The Sun leaves a lot to be desired as far as journalistic standards, and its relentless, upbeat spin on everything The Villages/Morse is tiresome to me. But no, I don't subscribe.

Um.... Did you guys miss the last part of that blurb on the front that teased to a story on page 3? If you notice this happens daily. Usually the top part of the paper is all local with a small national story below refering to the rest inside.

"give it up" By stop buying the paper you will probably feel better.

There is something that bothers me a lot. I have been receiving the Sun for years and years, BUT it disturbes me greatly that "everyday" there is a anti Democratic cartoon belittling President Obama. NEVER is there a cartoon poking fun at Republicans. This has always been offensive to me. I do continue as a customer of the Sun mainly because of the articles about golf course conditions etc, and of course the puzzles. Daily Sun, It's time to styop the childish cartoons and get down to being a real newspaper. Also it's time to dump Ann Coulter.

I am sure, given the chance, they would apologize to you folks for not measuring up to your obvious lofty standards.

Why you folks have this need to criticize and pan something you do not have any obligation to buy or read is a bit strange to me.
