I have gotten Newsday for more than fifty years . I enjoy reading it and once Wednesday or Thursday come , I do the crosswords .
Years ago , Newsday had great TV articles by people like Marvin Kitman .
Ed Lowe wrote a story about my daughter once . There were auto columns ( concerning traffic ) all the time and wonderful columnists
like Harriet Van Horne , Pete Hammill and Jimmy Breslin . Now there are no columnists whatsoever . I am not sure why . Are there any
columnists anywhere ?

Currently it seems like the only institution willing to call out the corruption of the SCPD, ie the abomination that was the David Mascarella coverup. For that reason alone they serve an important role. I'm not sure if this incident would have ever come to light if not for Newsday. It doesn't matter how many cops you have in your family or how much you think the island will be overrun with crime if we actually expect cops to have to follow the same rules as everyone else. You don't have a soul if you are willing to look the other way at this story. That means you, "good" cops, and everyone else. The fact that they had the audacity to test the victim and not the perp because he was a cop....the FBI should be digging deep into this department.
Newsday also sees racism everywhere on Long Island and did a big investigation about real estate agents supposedly keeping blacks away from white neighborhoods and in another investigation they blamed the police and county for the death of a black woman who kept going back to an abusive boyfriend.
It's one thing to expose injustice, for such is laudable, but it's quite another to gin something up: I remember in the 90's, they tried to gin up something over Farmingdale, which they described as being "Little Latina" - or something like that.
A writers' bias is ever present with most media outlets, but when someone pushes and instigates a narrative, it's divisive.
They did a great investigative report on internal affairs for the two police departments and how they protect cops rather than hold them accountable. Police dislike them intensely because they were exposed of their abuse.

Anything that is remotely political , Newsday will ALWAYS be biased in favor of the leftist side . On non-political issues , Newsday is often very good . However, i stopped reading Newsday about 14 years ago . I can't trust Newsday to give me accurate info regarding political stuff .
I find it good sport to look at CNN, then Fox, and see the different outlooks. Somewhere between the two lies the truth. Like Newsday and the NY Post.
Should David Mascarella have been allowed to maim children with no criminal prosecution because he's a cop and it's a tough job? Check that soul bro.
If a cop is a ****ty cop, which probably is a generally ****ty person, then yeah, screw ‘em.
Take ‘em down, Lock ‘em up.
My prior comment was “generally speaking”. And I think that should be obvious.
I mean c’mon really? Like anyone would want to see a clown like Tom Valva for example, skate just because he’s a cop.
