Also, how much did they lose by defending Brooke Pryor like they did?

The unfortunate reality is that they, like many local newspapers, are bleeding subscribers. Their way to make money is clicks. And the best bait is troll clickbait. They may have realized that’s where the money is and I really hope this isn’t the start of a trend.
