Sheldon Adelson, the chief lessee of of Marco Rubio (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/29/marco-rubio-campaign-funding-sheldon-adelson) bought a couple of newspapers and then turned them into his personal PR outlet. It seems some of his (former) employees took offense to the billionaire's actions and quit their jobs on ethical grounds.

So, Sheldon Adelson has been the one driving pseudonymous "articles" about corruption in the organizations suing him for torts and investigating him for crimes. This is unsurprising, given Adelson's past behavior when buying newspapers -- his free daily in Israel, Bibi HaYom -- sorry, Israel HaYom -- has been a money-sink designed to push forward his political ambitions, not a "newspaper" as such.
Which is what Las Vegas' paper of record is likely to become relatively shortly.
