Local news outlets are just advertisers / mouthpieces for local businesses huh? Seriously, how is this news otherwise? This is just some shitty small-business that isn't good enough to make it on their own, and they're having a moan about it.
In general, the US has too many shitty small businesses. Every pud who gets enough money at any point seems to try to start a business, and even in liberal terms I think it's clear that many aren't cut out for it, if only by looking at the sheer number of businesses that completely fail within the first ~5 years (about 50%).
I hate, hate, haaaaaaate local news because it's always been about "muh small business." Small business owner gets robbed. Small business gets vandalized. Small business this, small business that. Fuck off and tell me the weather.
And they never, EVER report on bad shit these kulak gusano fucks do unless it's a health code violation that poisons customers. Wage theft? Unsafe working conditions? Hahaha nope. That's not important news (even though it affects 99% of the population).

The Denver Post used to be a good, independent paper but it got bought by VC vultures who are taking the copper out of the walls.
Denver also used to have two papers, the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News.
