Surprised overall? Of course not. Surprised they'd choose this overt demonstration thereof? Absolutely.

They are literally playing to their audience though. This is what any tribune does. It's in the name tribune.

It's literally in the name. It has nothing to do with what Tribune Publishing is. It's a definition of the English language.
