REMEMBER SHELDON ADELSON & NEWT GINGRICH?

(h/t DougJ)

Adelson's money kept Newt in the race despite the fact that GOP primary voters weren't interested. In this article about how the Koch brothers may greatly increase the number of agit-prop news outlets, I found this tidbit:
Guests at the Aspen seminar included Philip F. Anschutz, the Republican oil mogul who owns the companies that publish The Washington Examiner, The Oklahoman and The Weekly Standard,...
With this sort of backing, those outlets don't have to turn a profit.
