Revenue won't be very much. Not likely to cover their expenses.
Please clarify how you know their "intent" is to make money?
BEWARE: Libel is the publication of a false statement about someone in writing that harms that person's reputation by exposing them to public hatred, scorn, disgrace, ridicule, or shame.

You then said "to report it". That is news gathering activities There are numerous court decisions that broadly protect that activity from arbitrary restrictions and legal threats or harassment. And libelous accusations.
