Well okay then.
2 things stood out for me which raised questions as a non-American.
1) The quality of the site - are the websites of local US papers usually this decently made? Even if it's just a random WP theme. I was under the impression that they were still perpetually 10 years behind the curve. See https://www.fredericknewspost.com/ https://www.fredericknewspost.com/ for example.
2) The real estate section looks fishy as all hell. Why would they include something like that?
- Balgair 6y agoAs to 1), yes, this is about par for the course. Most local news sites are of near this quality. As to 2), I've no clue. Maybe they are scraping the MLS feeds or Redfin's site in order to appear more legitimate. Honestly, it does feel more legitimate to me as real estate is very serious business. Fake news of c. 2016 didn't have a real estate section per my remembering of them.
- zackees 6y agoFunny how 90% of the media is controlled by 4 corporations but now suddenly that domestic outreach groups are organizing people to stop the economic destruction based on a disease which has a mortality rate the same as the flu, and suddenly everyone on the left is an investigative reporter and conspiracy theorist.
