Pointing out that criminals live a) in the Villages and b) in really nice neighborhoods and c) have money to buy homes outright and d) can be doxxed and publicly humiliated makes her happy.
She has actually taken information from police scanners and published them, even things that are protected information. Such as DETAILS of a particular man who engaged in sexual activity with his minor granddaughter. Details. Fill in the blanks yourself. It's disgusting. Published on an online site where anyone, including children, have free access to it.

I think you are incorrect about a "beef". Meta Minton was the Editor of The Daily Sun for many years and worked directly for the Morses. When they "sold" the paper or the running of it to a private entity for a few years, she decided to go out on her own with a digital news service.
I think she is successful and fills a need in the market. She is a very nice woman. I may not always agree with her slant on things but she does give the public what they want.
I know many people who look up where someone lives when they see they have been arrested or are from The Villages. That is just being curious or nosy if you wish. Or simply if their personality is a bit overwhelming. It is A venial, not a mortal. Sister said.
