These questions haunt millions wondering if they will ever know WHAT HAPPENED at the Mandalay Hotel on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2017

For 12 days straight, Hollywood Harvey’s story has been hogging the news, leaving no oxygen for other stories unassociated with the burgeoning scandal.

Since Harvey Weinstein, ‘The Sexual Predator’ became the News of the Day, readers find only snippets about what went down in Las Vegas.

The Hollywood Left are pigs, hypocrites and the scum of the Earth.

Let's move on.

That’s not the only stories being kept off the front page. Hillary and Mueller’s Russian bribes are being pushed to the back.

Vegas? You mean where witnesses are, uh, being dealt with?

It seems when something comes out that significantly exposes then, there’s always some major “Hellywood” distraction crap puked out. Been like this for a long time.

In fact, right after Vegas, I asked my wife “wonder what Hollywood crap would break to distract us?

Maybe, but many Americans (certainly anyone following the MSM) have attention spans shorter than squirrels.

A Kardashian butt-selfie would force a new Korean war off the front page.

And providing cover in the news cycle for the Clinton problems of a more deeply troubling nature.

Yes, by design. Just as Las Vegas was designed to knock the NFL off the news. /s

The air time is another diversion , much like the Russian investigation against President Trump... giving time for the criminals to cover their tracks and escape.

I still bet on a diseased and weak mind subsequently infected by the need for Jihad.

Islam is still being sheltered and promoted.

A little conspiracy theoryish for me, but it's an idea that it doesn't hurt to keep in the back of your mind.

As I've said numerous times, this Las Vegas thing sure is an odd bird. Usually when the media finds some Old White Guy that shoots up a bunch of people with guns, they simply cannot shut up about it for months on in, but for some reason they aren't hammering on this Las Vegas shooting in the manner that one would expect. It reminds me of this:

Gregory (Scotland Yard detective): "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
Gregory: "The dog did nothing in the night-time."
Holmes: "That was the curious incident."

It’s time to de construct the BS that Hollywood has evolved into.

Three’s NOTHING wholesome about it and it has NO redeeming value.

It has become a bottomless pit of filth, and to succeed THERE is practically an admission of total depravity

Most Americans feel ashamed of Hollywood representing us to the rest of the world... AS IF we are all those lost and shallow souls. I am sure there is much more to ‘culture’ here than the Hollywood version.

That would force *everything* off the page, no room for anything else.

I've heard more than enough about Weinstein. I want to know more about the Vegas shooting. Much more.

The story behind the Las Vegas false flag massacre must be even more serious than anybody knows, if they're willing to sacrifice one of their top skeez balls to get the attention off the shootings.

Oh gosh, there I go getting all cynical again...

What else is there to report on Las Vegas? We know all they have any intention of telling us.

Welcome to the news cycle. And Harvey’s cycle is mostly petered out now, so expect it to be replaced soon. The simple fact is for something to stay in the news it can’t go 72 hours without something “new” happening. Las Vegas was basically done by that Wednesday. Harvey keeps having new women come out, but even that has stopped being interesting. We’re probably about due for a dead blonde or something.
