Owned by right wing asshole Sheldon Adelson they're on the wrong side of history

1. Billionaire casino owner endorses failed casino owner.

The stupid, it burns.

2. In NC where I am

He's got a new round of fear ads running. Two women talk about their so called "rape" experiences and how Roy Cooper was a failed AG. Burr and Trump are really getting scared.

5. I will miss Burr's Volkswagen Thing.

He's famous for having the least impressive car on Capitol Hill.

3. Wasn't the Las Vegas-Review Journal the paper that sold

its copyrights to the copyright troll who shook down everyone who reprinted even snippets of its articles online? DU fought back and won.

8. Yup

Handed off from that rag to Righthaven to harass 'net sites - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/12/democratic-underground-responds-righthaven

I remember the disccussion around here when that was happening and glad that Skinner and crew prevailed.

4. Of course! Las Vegas loves losers.

Losers are their primary source of revenue.

6. Says a lot, will be like the same media company Trump is going to start, a lying

Media run by Lyin' Trump.

7. While Adelson won't give Trump any more of his money, he's going to endorse

Trump over Hillary for two reasons:

1) to try to consolidate whatever money he has given so far (millions) and
2) like Hell, Adelson will endorse HRC.

9. I think the idea of what constitutes a "major" newspaper is open to interpretation

I somehow don't put Adelson's rag on the same level with the New York Times, the Washington Post or the Miami Herald.

10. Good point.

That ain't a major paper, unless you count it in with the ones you use to housebreak the dog--which is the only thing it's good for.

It's like a scratch bunt ruining a no-hitter.......

[eggplant]

11. It took Adelson this long to endorse him.

Even that is telling.

[dalton99]

12. Only newsmax et al call it major

[LiberalLovinLug]

13. Hey, he's on a roll

"Mr. Trump instead brings a corporate sensibility and a steadfast determination to an ossified Beltway culture"

Trump in the same sentence as "sensibility" and "steadfast". Doesn't quite work.

14. I expected this..the paper is run by lunatics nt

[Retired George]

15. Las Vegas just got an NHL Franchise

That's right: They're going to play hockey. On ice. In the desert.

Kinda shows you where their mindset is at, doesn't it?

[liberalla]

17. ...play hockey. On ice. In the desert.

just like the Phoenix Coyotes

[Retired George]

18. Correct

And the Coyotes are on perpetual life-support.

16. Politico - Sheldon Adelson tightens grip on Review-Journal

The Las Vegas Review Journal is now just a mouthpiece for the right wing.

http://www.politico.com/media/story/2016/02/sheldon-adelson-tightens-grip-on-review-journal-004384

After a brief spell of normalcy seemed to return to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, all bets are now off.

A new publisher has appeared overnight at the paper, a new editor will be installed as soon as Friday, and, sources tell me, stories involving new owner Sheldon Adelson are being reviewed, changed or killed almost daily.

Further, the newsroom is abuzz with word of a list of a half a dozen or so journalists whose work has rubbed Adelson the wrong way over the years, and who may soon be targeted for departure in what one insider describes as a “house-cleaning.”

In addition to such departures, the Review-Journal may see a flurry of resignations sooner than later.
