A recent example.
New Yorker receives written warning after cat caught running loose at Water Oak

That headline generates more clicks than;

Stray cat found.

You're right. And a recent article in the online news called Delmar a dangerous street in The Villages, when in fact a driver ran a stop sign at Rio Grande. I think one or many at the online news have some type of ax to grind with the developer, the newspaper, or The Villages in general. I haven't seen very many resident complaints about prison noise, blasting or much of anything else. Fenney seems to make alot of Villagers happy.
