Philip Weiss did the research here, and did an awesome job:
"A week or so after Newt Gingrich said that the Palestinians are an invented people, his Super PAC has received $5 million from Sheldon Adelson, whose central cause is Israel.
And lo, the Associated Press fails to mention Adelson's cause in its coverage. The Washington Post broke the story but included just one sentence about Israel, buried in paragraph 8, and ungrammatically:
Adelson is a strong supporter of Israel and his views dovetail with Gingrich on Israel and the Palestinian conflicts.
Blackout artists at The New York Times write up the gift without a word about Adelson's cause:
As candidates spent the weekend trying to catch up to Mitt Romney in New Hampshire, with the primary just two days away, a longtime supporter of Newt Gingrich donated $5 million to a “super PAC” backing his presidential bid, providing a major boost to Mr. Gingrich’s ailing campaign. The donation by Sheldon Adelson was reported Saturday night by The Washington Post. He has long been a generous patron of Mr. Gingrich’s political career....
The cash infusion from Mr. Adelson instantly catapults Winning Our Future into the top ranks of candidate super PACs, groups that can raise unlimited amounts of money from donors and spend it all on advertisements and other efforts to back a specific candidate, so long as they do not coordinate with the campaign."
Here's the question, do you think Gingrich was given this extremely large donation because he claims to be a staunch supporter of Israel or because he said the Palestinians were an invented people?
Was this donation made because of the statement, or was the donation made because the statement was expected?
Last month, Politico reported that Adelson told people he planned to write a $20 million check to the group. Adelson and his spokesman denied the report.
Maybe Gingrich was actually supposed to say more than he actually did.
One thing I do know is that the MSM will not be discussing this any time soon.
