The majority of these websites appear to be US based local news outlets. They have very little motivation to comply with GDPR.

As a side note, a lot of the comments here suggest that few people are reviewing the list at all before offering their opinion. Yes GDPR is a great step forward for data privacy, but there is little reason to shame "The Pueblo Chieftain" for not complying with GDPR. What is more likely:

1) compliance doesn't matter to them or their audience 2) they are trying to exploit and monetize your data

They don't need to comply with GDPR. They're not doing business in the EU; they're not based in the EU; they're not targetting EU citizens. They're exempt from the regulations.

People are complaining about the corrupt business model of massive misuse of personal data.

Its not that simple.

The may have a parent company that does have an EU presence making the parent company liable in the event of a violation.
