You are reading it wrong. No one is upset. We have been looking for a good excuse to dump these information distortionists for some time. They have simply cut off their own nose. The Internet is the new source of news gathering. We don’t need them enough to pay a fee to advertise for them. They should have been paying bloggers for bringing attention to their existence and attempting to be balanced in their reporting.
Gee what if someone leaves their paper on the bench - do I have your permission to pick?
