I will respectfully disagree
Once can easily search for LDS past stories. Just google: Laconia Daily Sun subject matter. in this case Bean Burpee.
I could not find a single example of The Sun "lauding him on this aspect of his life". So there was no prior narrative preventing the publishing of the five stories that ran on his dismissal. 4 by Mike Mortensen, 1 by Robert Baker.
