... B) But the interesting development at that time was its own investigative journalists had to investigate its own to disclose its new boss!
... C) After new ownership, Las Vegas Review-Journal staff were told to ease up on coverage of the new owner. Conflict of interest and loss of transparency? What about the late endorsement of Trump now?
2) Las Vegas Review-Journal is owned by Sheldon Adelson & his family.
... A) Sheldon Adelson is a mega supporter and contributor of the Republican right wing agendas. Back in the 2012 election period, Mr. Adelson spent an estimated 98+ million dollars in Republican political contributions.
3) Mr. Adelson also owns several ultra right wing papers in Israel.
4) Las Vegas Review-Journal Trump endorsement at < 3 wks before the election?

... B) This year, NV is a battleground and leaning Democratic
... C) But more importantly, to triage the Republican down ballot hemorrhage!
