Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, 81, who put in $400 million to support various Republican presidential candidates in 2014—with nothing to show for it, recently laid out a plan to buy the NY Times. Even though it’s not for sale. Adelson knows a thing or two about owning the media. Over in Israel, he created a daily newspaper so powerful—enlisted in support of his fair haired buy Benjamin Netanyahu—that the Knesset is now working on special anti-democratic legislation to kill his paper. So how would he buy the Times? Simple – by throwing too much money at it. “There’s only one way to buy it, ” Adelson said.
“Money.” (See Never Mind Bombing Iran, Sheldon Adelson Wants To Buy The NY Times).
