Newsweek Article on Online Gambling and DOJ

Part of it looks kosher, but part of it looks like a god damned Sheldon Adelson advert:

I don't understand how Sheldon Anderson is allowed to have an opinion. The guy owns a casino and takes a moral stance against another form of gambling because it may cut into his bottom line. I don't know about you, but when somebody says one thing like "gambling is good, come to my casino" but does another for obvious selfish reasons like "online gambling will ruin us all", everything that person ever says again is irrelevant. The people that are accepting this mans money to fight this cause are fuckin scum.

Ummm HELLLLOOOOO, its called integrity people. Put it before the almighty dollar, or you just may rot in hell.

It's fucking Newsweek. Your grandmother buys it at the Safeway checkout. It's now a sensationalist rag desparate for any sales.

They tried to reach Satoshi Nakamoto for comment.



A classic collectors cover

They tried to reach Satoshi Nakamoto for comment.

As it so happens, the woman that wrote the Satoshi piece (Leah McGrath Goodman) is also responsible for this awful story.

She's sparring with a bunch of outraged poker journalists and players on Twitter today.

Native advertising

We should pool our money and order a hit off craigslist on that old fuck.

408 would get there and tell Adelson what he was there to do and Adelson would just hand him x100 more $$ from his back pocket and you're back to square 1.

You're thinking 2 levels ahead of me

Native advertising

Well played. Never thought of that possibility. I applaud the cynicism.

Newsweek is on the ropes.

I haven't really touched one for years. I have a hunch it weighs in at about 25 pages. How do we monetize that?

Instagram, Facebook, interweb crushing your game? Adopt their game plan on a grander scale. Native advertising.

Leah Goodman makes me so suspicious about her agenda that I am trying to work up the energy to read her other stuff.

I smell a whiff of fraud coming from the magazine sitting on the rack between the Sodoku puzzles and The National Enquirer.

Pooh was first in - credit is due.

Leah McGrath Goodman prostitutes herself out to Micon.

I cannot believe Druff spent 30 mins earnestly arguing the merits of her Newsweek cover story on his show without contemplating the possibility that this was an example of native advertising. A huge fail overlooking a far more interesting story. Did he not read the thread on his own site? To at least consider the possibility would have represented minimal effort.

You took this seriously Druff. Admit it and have laugh with us.

This article tickles her latest cover story and Micon's freshly powdered balls.

At least this time "Advertisement" is plastered on the header for even the slowest of the first level thinkers.

Introducing...Bitcoin Poker

Excerpt:
ADVERTISEMENT

On Sunday, at 6 p.m. ET, poker players around the world will log onto a gaming site with the curious name of SealsWithClubs to bet not with the dollar, euro or pound, but with bitcoin – increasingly the currency of choice among poker players from parts of the world laden with restrictions on online gambling, including the U.S.......

Credit Micon for quickly spotting the for sale sign.

[Sanlmar]

Awesome. Just checked link and "Advertisent" is now removed from the header.

Glad I cut and pasted the beginning of article for my own sanity.

Some old school editor got schooled in native advertising protocol.

Great stuff.

BTC down to $490 BTW

According to our 2014 status report:

49 percent of respondents don’t know what native advertising is
24 percent are hardly familiar with it
Another 24 percent are somewhat familiar
Only 3 percent are very knowledgeable

Critical reading.

Druff came close when he acknowledged Newsweek is a troubled rag.

[Dan Druff]

Wow, when I did junior high school reports from articles in Newsweek in the '80s, I couldn't imagine at the time that they would be selling advertising disguised as news.

Well at least now we know what Leah McGrath Goodman is really about -- just selling article space to whoever wants to pay her and Newsweek. Guess Sheldon Adelson and friends sponsored the last one.
