In Nevada, a media mystery may have been revealed. Fortune magazine first reported that major Republican Party donor Sheldon Adelson has bought Nevada’s largest daily newspaper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, for $140 million. Last week’s purchase was reportedly arranged by Adelson’s son-in-law. The revelation follows a week of questions and uncertainty as the Adelson family attempted to keep the purchase secret, even from the newspaper’s own staff. Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Sean Whaley tweeted last week: “I have some stories to write Monday but I don’t know who I’m working for. I am not happy.”
