“What do they want?”
They want to remain relevant instead of suffering the death they deserve for becoming what newspapers have become.
Sucks to be them.

Let's not forget, just three days ago they did this to attack President Trump's comments towards Pelosi:
...suggesting she’s taking a vacation and promoting street fairs and parties in San Francisco’s Chinatown... Since the coronavirus outbreak shut down much of the country last month...See what the SacBee did?
They are mashing items from two different timeframes, and commenting as if both were current.
Pelosi made her Chinatown comments on February 24, two days after the Nevada caucus and the day before the Democrat debate in Charleston, South Carolina. Democrats were in full primary mode at the time, and nobody was suggesting that voters should stay-at-home the week before Super Tuesday.
The "Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread" guidelines weren't released until March 16, more than two weeks after Pelosi's Chinatown statements. Pelosi pro forma recessed the House on March 16 and announced they won't return until May, despite the Senate remaining in session, hence President Trump's "vacation" comment.
Pelosi remained on "vacation" last week when the Senate was ready to refill the SBA loan program, but the House recess prevented Congress from moving the bill forward. That's the "current" part of the comment mash-up.
Fact Check: Fail.
