Dropsite does all of these things. They were the ex top journalists of TheIntercept. They own the dropsitenews domain and redirect it to their Substack site

They host their site on Substack because it provides a convenient layout to publish articles does not negate any of that. This is similar to using WordPress.

Dropsite aren't a news site then imo either. And using wordpress for your News site is a red flag too imo.

These examples will all be heavily customised. Neccessitating expertise in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Perhaps a yellow flag then

This looks like a plenty professional news site. Little gives away it is hosted on Substack. There is a banner at the bottom of the site.
