Why do you call it a rag if you have never read it? Prior to their latest make over, I always liked the Orlando Sentinel. I am now looking for an alternative and I have not found one. Not to upset anyone but the Daily Sun has improved so much in its world and regional reporting that I am leaning to it for my only paper. Section C and D are for the Villagers. Section A is a good read for world and regional news. Section B has a pretty good sports section.

As far as slanted, I am not a biggie on the slants as long as I get the news. But then I do not think that the Daily Sun is slanted except in the oped area where they keep rejecting my letters to the editor.

Well, maybe a poor choice of words, rag. I guess I have heard too many bad reviews about Sentinal. I agree that the Daily Sun has gotten better since I came here over 10 months ago.

When I want to read or hear about my favorite sports team pro or college I go to the net where I can read the back home newspapers or hear about them till I have had enough. So I feel that the Daily Sun does an ok job covering local and national sports.

If you want to hear your local back home radio sports stations go to

http://tunein.com/#location-tab

then go to local radio click on the state and city you want and get the station that you listened to back home.

high school stuff
 
I agree with my friend gatherer. Im not interested in high school sports now. I get all of my news weather and sports from the internet. I do get some weather from local stations but no sports. Get all of my chicago sports news from the good old computer. No daily fun for me. Go Bears!! Hurry back home gatherer..
