No it's not "worse" than Rupert Murdoch's control of FoxNews, but Nevada can go either way in the next Presidential election. Here are a couple of examples of Adelson's influence (from the L. A. Times story): "Three of the newspaper's reporters were ordered to spend two weeks monitoring Clark County judges, particularly District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez. They were to observe ?whether [the judges are] prepared or not, if they favor one lawyer over another, whether they're over- or under-worked ? even whether they show up for work on time, or not,? the newspaper reported.... Gonzalez had clashed with Adelson when he took the witness stand in a wrongful-termination suit. When Adelson refused to answer a question, Gonzalez admonished him: ?Sir, you don't get to argue with me. You understand that?? the Review-Journal reported." "Adelson has sued reporters personally, including one well-known case against Review-Journal columnist John L. Smith, who was driven into bankruptcy while fighting a libel lawsuit from Adelson that was eventually dismissed."
