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

            One of the definitions of Tribune: an official in ancient Rome chosen by the plebeians to protect their interests.

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