This is the link to an article that NBC News just published online about Stephen Paddock:
Note that if you look at the URL, it contains the words
“las vegas massacre investigators probing whether others were gunman”
That’s because the article’s original title was:
“Investigators Probing Whether Others Were in Las Vegas Gunman’s Suite”
However, NBC has since changed the title to the following:
“Police ‘Confident’ No One Else in Shooter’s Room Before Las Vegas Attack”
What’s far more intriguing, however, is that NBC has completely erased the following content, which appeared in the original version:
“during a period when Paddock’s car left the hotel garage, one of his key cards was used to get into his room”
My understanding is that it is customary for online news articles to point out when such changes have been made, either at the beginning of the article, or at the end of the article. However, in this case, NBC makes no such mention anywhere.
I’m not usually one for conspiracy theories. However, NBC News is generally considered to be a highly reliable source. I’m curious to know why they published the info about Paddock’s car and hotel key being used at the same time, why they they erased it, and why they didn’t mention that they had erased it.
“However, NBC News is generally considered to be a highly reliable source.”
Whaaaaaaat? Who is this moron?
So basically you are using something from NBC
in order to promote yourself and your blog.
You suck.
The poster is the "author." You are correct in your assessment.
“...IRS records show Paddock was a successful gambler, earning at least $5 million in 2015...”
*************************************************
Ahh...enquiring minds want to know where the hell those earnings went. $5 million is a lot of green — unless, of course, that was the amount of “chips” Pollack cashed in without yet deducting the dollar cost of the “investment” needed to buy into his gambling activities to “win” that $5 million.
NBC = Nothing But Crap
ROTFL!!! Yeah, that's what Brian Williams says.
rofl, when we see an article referring to NBC as “a highly reliable source” we know we are in the presence of serious delusions.
I was wondering how NBC and ABC were getting all of these scoops about Paddock.
They’re making it all up!

In one place I read he’s a loner gambler so he played machines. In this article it says he was a successful gambler who made 5 million. I don’t nelieve both of those can be true.
Likely the cops asked them to take that info down.
Sure with POTUS but did they just make up specific stuff about the key card being used at the same time Paddock’s car was out of the garage?
That’s certainly an odd thing to make up. Maybe they have a bad source. That’s definitely a possiblity. All I know is the sheriff wasn’t the one giving the presser today but the under sheriff and the tip line now is under the FBI.
Likely the cops asked them to take that info down.

THANK YOU! Instead of knee jerk reactions attacking the OP why not actually deal with the post. We all were in a big thread about this NBC article now they took down the most interesting part of the article, and changed it.
Correct they should have had the disclaimer that the key card information was refuted by law enforcement, which it was in another more recent article.
