The way the paper is describing the current situation is that they only print virtuously correct articles, and then get mobbed by angry trolls.
This is unfortunately exactly their thought process though -- if you are not "progressive" like they are in their values, you are a caveman and need to be enlightened. Such values are deemed the correct ones to have ("because it's CURRENT_YEAR") so of course anyone with a differing opinion is not just wrong, but morally bankrupt.
This is also the general thought process of the New Radical Left, personified by the college students and sniffy intellectuals that do populate most of mainstream journalism and educational institutions. Reporting is no longer enough, one has to be an "agent of change".
The Guardian staff are just butt-hurt that people have woken up to their proselytizing and won't let them get away with being an authority when they are desperately biased in their articles.

It just seems to me that if you want to be taken seriously by folks on the opposite end of the political spectrum then the right needs to do itself a favor: stop vilifying LGBT and other minorities categorically. It's not that hard, really.
