You're saying WP as though wordpress is the criticism.

Nobody is criticizing the use of wordpress. I'm pointing to the use of a WYSIWYG extension because wordpress is too complicated. And yes, this is a solid measure of legitimacy and professionalism.

Legit organizations with dozens and dozens of employees as this site's claiming to have don't operate on essentially a wix site with a broken homepage.

Furthermore, I didn't discover the WYSIWYG usage until deep into a discussion with OP trying to defend this scam site, when he linked his about page with a messy URL featuring the plug-in name.

The site was created this election cycle and is named and designed to suggest it's some long established regular local newspaper, despite being an activist site with 95% political content.

"bucks county beacon"? That's chosen to deceive readers into believing this is some regular long established local newspaper. Same with their logo designed like it's from 2002.

> If you have a gripe to pick with an article and want to fact-check it fine, but jesus stop whining.

Bud, you're chiming in trying to derail the discussion by pretending the critcism is the use of wordpress.

No one is criticising the use of wordpress. This site has a barely-functioning homepage with images that don't consistently load, a mess of broken carousels, built using a WYSIWYG. The site doesn't even appear in the top three SERPs for "local news bucks county". Buckscountybeacon is a misleading site, disguised as an established local newspaper. The very first article I clicked on turned out to be republished content from elsewhere.

It's a scam site. One that you're being disingenuous in defending, by trying to pretend the criticism is over the use of WP. The first time someone pointed to it might have been from skimming. The second time after I explained this says you're not being honest here.
