The blogger wanted to share his thoughts with the world, the newspaper helped him.
Of interest, did he have "copyright, Do not copy or use in any form blah blah " ?
This post is my copyright and I consider of such unique value do not copy or quote in any way.

You do raise an interesting point, but it's not the one you intended.
First, your quote attributes the original author, as well as being used in the same media which is itself a collaborative effort.
But what about sites like ThereIsNoMoneyInPorn that scrapes content from popular webmaster forums, including GFY - whose copyright, if any, is being violated? Who owns the content being produced here - GFY or the individual posters? I honestly don't know, but think it's an interesting topic to explore with an expert in copyright law I know.
