Sheldon Adelson: New Owner of the Largest Newspaper in Nevada

[vegas1369]

Some of you may or may not have been following this story, but two weeks ago Sheldon Adelson paid $140,000,000 cash for the Review Journal, Las Vegas' largest newspaper. He also tried to keep this a secret, but word got out pretty fast. The night of the Republican Debate, which was held at his casino (The Venetian), as the rumors were swirling that the secret buyer was Shelly, he went on record saying "I have no personal interest in the Review Journal"... The next day it came out that it was in fact him.

The Review Journal has been a pretty middle of the road publication, leaning a little to the left, but now they will obv be the Fox News of Nevada publications.

It was pretty comical at first as the editor and reporters spoke out against it, and how they would continue to report the truth and keep the integrity of the paper on the up and up... There was even a pretty damning story against Adelson about how a month ago 3 reporters from the RJ were asked for no reason whatsoever, in a move that made no sense to anyone, to investigate a judge... A judge that just so happened to be overseeing a big lawsuit against, you guessed it... Sheldon Adelson.

Well, today this happened... http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/la...accepts-buyout

LOL!

So, he is obv making a big push to swing Nevada to the right for this election. If you can't beat em', buy em'.

Typical sneaky Jew. I think his next goal will be to get a Jew elected as President.

Didn't even notice, the link to the judge story was on the same page...

Also, I wonder how fast "Pot News" will be taken off the tabs under the "News" tab.

Above the law...

In May the billionaire and the judge clashed when Adelson took the witness stand but refused to answer a routine question.

"Sir, you need to answer the question," Gonzalez told him.

When Adelson argued, Gonzalez told him, "Sir, you don't get to argue with me. You understand that?"

It was not the first contentious exchange between Adelson's team and the judge. Gonzalez fined Sands and its Chinese subsidiary $25,000 in 2012 after finding their attorneys had tried to deceive the court, and this year she fined Sands China $250,000 for withholding documents.

Last year, attorney Michael D. Davidson told the Review-Journal an Adelson representative offered to "significantly and financially" support a campaign to unseat Gonzalez. An Adelson spokesman declined comment at the time. Davidson said he declined the offer.

We still need to get Sheldon's thoughts on how soft the Bryan Micon punishment was.

Editor resigned today apparently.

Bernie Sanders, perhaps?
