Two things:

1. His "criticism" of the report sounds more like effusive praise. He acknowledges: "This is the case even though not all the coverage, considered in isolation, has been unfair. The Free Press's long story about Dorsey is, in fact, a model of journalistic probity. The story lays out all the facts. It interviews Dorsey, and people sympathetic to him, but also one of his intended victims. It presents the complexities in such a way that readers with opposing views can reach opposite conclusions. I gained a deeper understanding of Dorsey from reading it, and the reporters deserve commendation."

2. The Free Press isn't anti-U-M. They've been a U-M homer for years. The writer Chait hates so much, Mike Rosenberg, is a U-M grad.

The Freep has been on an anti-Rodriguez tear since he took over, primarily because they have concluded he is an incompetent douche and they want him fired.
