Bro I’m a software dev and this isn’t the slam dunk you think it is. Lots of perfectly reputable sites are run using Wordpress or Gradle or some other template-based system

It is. Nobody's talking about wordpress. Wordpress is a fine CMS, especially for a magazine or blog.

They're usingelementor plug-in for wordpress, which is to turn wordpress into a WYSIWYG editor. Not something legitimate organizations do, much less journalists who are typically familiar with wordpress enough they don't need to turn it into wix.

If you're a software dev, you should be seeing a lot more glaring issues than that. I've gone into a lot more issues than that in their last thread.

Glaring issues like… what?

Images that don't load, generated URLs for primary pages (hence how I discovered it's built with a WYSIWYG), homepage is a cluster-fuck of carousel plug-ins stacked on top of each other, doesn't make it anywhere near the top pages on google for "local news bucks county pa", a logo design that looks like it's from 2002 paired with a super generic newspaper name suggesting their aiming at deceiving users into believing this is some existing established local newspaper, despite it being an activist site built this very election cycle.

These are glaring issues..
