A hateful real-estate magnate and homophobe* bought our already-wingnutty daily (San Diego Union-Tribune) in order to promote his own land-development interests. He got bored after a few years and sold it to Sam Zell, who owns the Chicago Tribune and its western-neighborhood subsidiary, the LA Times. So, on the basis of that one data point, it seems likely that Sheldon will peddle the R-T off once his chosen candidate wins the Nevada primary or caucuses or lotto or whatever they do there.

In a sort of cosmic raspberry, he's also now saddled with the Pahrump Valley Times, the Pahrump Mirror, and the Tonopah Times-Bonanza. Nice additions to his media "empire."

This is what happens (more easily) in states with 5M residents, one of whom is worth $50B.
