BLACKOUT
The alleged financial shenanigans of Vinod Gupta, the Omaha, Neb., businessman and major fundraiser and pal to Bill and Hillary Clinton, are apparently not considered newsworthy by Gupta's hometown paper, the Omaha World-Herald.
Last week's report in On The Money prompted one e-mailer from Nebraska to note the lack of coverage of the allegations that Gupta has been looting company coffers to fund his lavish lifestyle - accusations raised publicly by two hedge funds that own stock in Gupta's company, InfoUSA.
There may be a reason for the silence from the local paper, the e-mailer speculates: Harold Andersen, the ex-publisher of the Omaha World-Herald and a current columnist, is a Gupta pal and sits on InfoUSA's board.
In fact, Andersen, who has been a director since 1993, sits on both the compensation and corporate governance committees and has written about Gupta without disclosing his connection to InfoUSA.
Andersen didn't return a call seeking comment.
