Boston Herald: Casino Shill

Willing to provide regurgitated news releases from the Gambling Industry, the Boston Herald proves itself, once again, to be little more than a Casino Shill failing to report the facts or do any heavy-lifting of readily available articles.

Instead of the Home-Town-Boy-Made-Good embrace, maybe a little .....consideration might be wise.

‘Game-changer’: Sheldon Adelson might enter casino clash
By Frank Quaratiello

Multi-billionaire gambling magnate Sheldon Adelson, a Dorchester native who runs Las Vegas Sands Corp., is mulling whether to ante into the Massachusetts casino game, his spokesman confirmed — a development casino watchers say is a potential “game-changer.”

“The company remains interested in developing an integrated resort property in Massachusetts, but has not made any final determinations,” said Las Vegas Sands spokesman Ron Reese. “We will continue to monitor the situation and undertake our internal process as it relates to new development opportunities.”



Maybe some day the Herald will insist on research before publishing articles.

Doubtful!

These are simply from articles, posted elsewhere that are readily available:

\"NUMBER 8: Las Vegas Sands lobbyists are thankful that they haven’t yet had to explain to Floridians why the company is the object of an ongoing federal investigation, and why, exactly, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Justice Department are trying to find out if the Sands violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.\"

Curious incident from New Jersey:

\"It was a worry about those kinds of deals that forced MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM) out of Atlantic City. Gaming officials in New Jersey didn\'t want anything to do with a company that was associated with gambling kingpin Stanley Ho\'s daughter Pansy Ho and possible mob ties.\"
