Mystery solved, but we still do not understand why it was a big secret in the first place.

For nearly a week, the media and political worlds have been wondering who paid $140 million to purchase Nevada's largest daily newspaper, The Las Vegas Review-Journal. The primary buyer had taken great pains to remain anonymous, but Fortune has learned from multiple sources familiar with the situation that it is Sheldon Adelson, chairman and CEO of casino operator Las Vegas Sands

This ties in to that blind gossip item I posted about someone changing their position after making a deal with power broker in Vegas.

We will see if Trump gets favorable coverage from the paper.

What if Adelson said I won’t donate to you so you can stay independent but we will build a hotel together in the future.

Maybe campaign finance law will be looked at again in the future as Trump changes the political landscape.

Such a scurvy leftist propaganda rag will require lots of house cleaning to Americanize.

Isn’t it interesting we have wanted more Conservative people to purchase and run newspapers.

Wonder if Trump has skin in this game...
