There should be an extension that prevents you from risking your privacy accessing an american site that does this
Then again americans wouldn't be able to access 90% of their internet so maybe it would be pointless
As an American, I would use it.
Well in this case the website itself is preventing me from risking my privacy accessing it.

Fox 21 is a local affiliate of Fox based in Duluth, MN. It’s a regional news source for Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
I seriously doubt they get enough traffic from GDPR regulated countries to retrofit their entire site to be compliant when it is targeted for a very specific audience in the US.
Yes, but also, it is sad you can automatically safely assume a news site that we only want to display our news will be handling a fuck-ton of our personal information. If it just showed the news and non-targeted ads, it wouldn't need a retrofit. GDPR wouldn't apply.
they don't need to retrofit their entire website. GDPR does not require the website to do anything, it requires websites to not do certain greedy things. that's all.
I saw 'fox' in the URL and wasn't surprised.
