WATE's Gene Patterson outs a troll at his blog. He is also soliciting viewer input on how to make local teevee news better (which appears to be the genesis of the troll dustup).
Somewhat related, KNS editor Jack McElroy explains that newspapers are in business to make money and that they are selling what people are buying. I'm not sure which is sadder -- what they are selling, or the fact that there's a demand for it.
