LVRJ sold?

That's too boring. I want Trump.

 

Adelson's been happy to go public with his other political activities. Why should owning the Vegas paper need to be a big secret?

 

This is what I don't get, just like anything people try to keep secret these days. It's just delaying the inevitable. Just get it over with and be done with it.

 

WaPo on it.

Who bought the Las Vegas Review-Journal? Its own reporters would like to know.

 

Because someone has to do it:



"Who own da R-J?"

 

Who had Sheldon in the poll?

Revealed! Mystery Buyer of Las Vegas' Largest Newspaper

 

Ahem.

But on the other hand, who didn't?

 

The family said in a statement that it was "proud to announce" the acquisition, and said it never intended to keep the news a secret.

Adelson family confirms ownership of the Las Vegas Review-Journal

 

When a wealthy family says it purchases something, it screams out "we need to put the fuckup son/son-in-law/grandkid 'in charge' of something."

Or maybe I'm just projecting. Ha.

If that's the line of thinking here, letting GateHouse continue to run things makes little sense. So the Adelsons are going to be glorified heads of the editorial board? A position with some power, sure, but you'd think they'd want more juice.

 

Master Blaster?

 

Don't we all.

"I just wish reporters had better hearts and better intentions than just trying to slam media companies trying to do good."

Really odd story:

Judge in Adelson lawsuit subject to unusual scrutiny amid Review-Journal sale

 

I would really like to know the back story on the decision to publish that story. I thought it was a very brave thing to do given the new ownership.
