This really feels like just another way for the press to play off Lohan rather than a genuine protest. This way they get the ratings and get to be holier than thou.

Yep. If these guys really wanted to protest covering this type of non-news, they would make their protests with their editors and producers to persuade them not to run the story at all. If that doesn’t work, then rather than publicly and self-righteously ripping up the copy, instead just skip over it as if it didn’t exist.
