You are right, John. There is nothing in the story that specifically badmouths the Leightons. Lynn had an opportunity to speak and handled the situation with class.
However, I guess it's the overall tenor of the story that annoys me. Firstly, how is this news? Secondly, it was written to engender sympathy for the poor bar owner who was evicted by the mean landlord, not for informing the public.
