Canzano takes his orders from his bosses. The effete snobs who own the Oregonian don't seem to have positive interactions with Paul Allen when their paths intersect in the ballrooms and dinners.
This is like deciphering the cause of the Bush family hating Saddam. Some business maneuver, probably about oil since Bush was from Texas, soured and Bush the First felt jilted. So he and his son started two wars.
Owned by the 46th largest private company in the U.S., the Oregonian has many levels between Canzano and owner Si Newhouse. The lace-loving scale of bureaucracy puts the Vulcans to shame. A couple of Newhouse's underlings took a dislike to Allen at functions long ago and hired Canzano to be their dog.
