Periodicals and those who work for them should not make excuses. There is no dilemma of you want to be an honest operation. We would never be where we are now if an important decision was made years ago. If you are saying that allowing a company that you know to be "fraudulent" is a decision that "has to be made" in order to survive, that is the decision because all you are doing is misleading the readership and doing something that is harming, well, everyone. Do things correctly and perhaps fold, or purchase some time and continue to accept the fate that you are doing something improper.
People are outraged, and it's like screaming at your waiter because the food is late or yelling at a K-Mart clerk because the price of something went up, we all do it. It's an outlet. Is it fair to scream at columnists on blogs? Probably not, but it gets the point across and makes us feel better, like we are doing something...not sitting there like humps.
Also, look at how everyone involved at the publication is behaving. It's either to look the other way and ignore, get angry back or behave in a childish fashion. You would think the place is run by infants. My two cents. I personally like what the ring guy has to say on his site.
