It’s all about rainbows, sunshine and living the dream.
TV doesn't want any negativity to frighten would be home purchases...

Power, in times of yore, was fairly localized(except for a few exceptions: ie: the romans). Now with facts, data, info flying through the ether at light speed it's impossible for the everyday person to have a clue as to what's truly happening. we certainly won't find out from the flat screens or the internet. it is really weird. I should have taken the blue pill.....
I was right there with you until you started talking about taking viagra :popcorn:

it's part of the bubble recipe, a different version of "Stepford Wives". Keep them drunk and entertained - don't look behind or question that curtain. First time I've seen "newspapers" on driveways. I'm surprised they didn't have sidewalks with mailboxes and the front door and mailmen on foot.

Has it's benefits and deficits. I deal with the deficits and keep my head in reality aka outside the bubble.

The news is a business like any other, news papers, tv, radio they are all the same. They cater to whatever they believe will attract the largest market share. They survive not only through the purchasers/viewers of their product, but also through advertising revenues. Editors/Producers have little interest in what is being reported and more on the size of their consumers audience.

Subscribe to the “Villages-News.com” for a report of happenings in the villages that the Sun newspaper would never report. It’s free and I get this in my email daily. You will be surprised, or not, at what happens in TV and some surrounding areas.

Bad news doesn't sell houses. Welcome to the Villages.

Villages Sun
 
The Villages Sun accommodates the reasons most of us moved here. Stories of neighbors, local happenings and recreation etc. If it’s bad news or in depth news you are looking for just subscribe to the paper you enjoyed where you come from and be grateful you had the desire to come here and enjoy your retirement. I hope that you do. Welcome to The Villages.

Possibly a suicide or mental health
situation which out of respect for family members it’s not reported.

EviesGP 10-24-2021 08:16 AM
I'm dumping my subscription when it expires, as I've had enough of their biased opeds and reporting! And, I've learned from someone working there, that they've lost half their clients since their high. Go figure.

Real news reporting
 
The only means to relate news and information in TV, is the Daily Sun. The Sun is owned by the developers of TV. They will edit world and national news to include, but anything local needs to be positive. News of crime, accidents or what we'd consider "local news" in any other municipality, will not be reported, because it has a negative connotation.
For us in Sumter County, install SUMTER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE news feed and NEWSBREAK, both from the PlayStore
