Comparing lesbian mud wrestling to a sickly squirrel is a bit rude, even in the context of “what might best grab headlines”. I know it was a joke, but still…

Equating people with animals, even indirectly, isn’t nice. It sets the precedent that there is a context where that’s acceptable, when that’s not acceptable in any context.

it's not about nice. it's about what gets the most clicks and brings in the most ad revenue.

the context is 'story that makes us the most money gets run'
