No, I think people only put a certain level of effort to post things and dumb people don't follow links before downvoting because their too in a hurry to be outraged. It's a shitty policy, but I'm not going to assume the person who bothered to look up the details and repost them for our use is a shitty person by default because they didn't check enough boxes for you. Settle down and go be mad at the right people.

Yeah.. that's not how you determine if a site is legit or not. Lots of both locally run news org and even larger sites use a WP backend and also often use a RTE editor (no one uses the term WYSIWYG anymore, that's like 2000s lingo).

You don't need a print copy of a news org to be "legit" Also, what is legit these days? I lived in west philly, this site iss WP powered and not fancy, but it's also a legit news site: http://www.westphillylocal.com/ that was run by locals.

From the Beacon support page
"Your support of the Beacon is an investment in a progressive future for Bucks County – a future where we as a community continue to make strides in achieving social, economic, and racial justice with an environmentally sustainable future. "

Now you may not like the news it features and that's fine. But please stop spreading bullshit. Someone put it up, that someone is progressive/liberal. The fact they used a traditional newspaper name is not exactly a conspiracy theory as it is just something commonly done to look more pro. If you have a gripe to pick with an article and want to fact-check it fine, but jesus stop whining.
