The site layout is jumbled up and images don't show up due to the following host names being blocked (present in both ads-and-tracking.txt and ads-and-tracking-extended.txt):

• franklyinc.com
• ngw-static.franklyinc.com

This is unfortunate. The script has nothing to do with the content. They have lazy loading - but no error handling. When they get a JavaScript error from a blocked tracker - it breaks everything else on the page that requires JavaScript (the lazy loader)

        <script src="https://ngw-static.franklyinc.com/assets/8685/app-c0b1f53218264d15306e.js"></script>
        <!-- NOTE: if AppNexus Prebid is enabled, add its script.-->
        
        <script src="https://content.worldnow.com/global/js/_pub/off-platform.ads.min.js?ver=0"></script>
        <script>
          Worldnow.Beacon.set(
            _.mergeWith(franklyDataLayer[0], Worldnow.Beacon.get(), function customizer(dataLayerValue, beaconValue) {
              if (!beaconValue || beaconValue === 'null' || beaconValue === 'undefined' || beaconValue === 'n/a' || beaconValue === 'error not found!') {
                return dataLayerValue;
              }
            })
          );
        </script>

Worldnow.Beacon.set is the breaking JavaScript - since it is being blocked

It does look like it handles some of the CSS and the weather widget too
