For websites with specifically-American audiences, it can often be easier to only allow people from their intended readership access than to correctly understand and implement compliance to a foreign law. In this case, it's a local news website.

It’s not that complicated. Just don’t collect any private/profiling information and you’re good.

They’d probably rather stay with a more limited audience that keeps their ad CTRs up, than dilute the numbers with unmonetized visitors.

Why would a local news site care about GDPR compliance? It's not like enforcement is even feasible.
