Reader “It2008″ posted the following interview of Steve Wynn in our forums:

What particularly amused the reader was the following comment:

“We have had recessions, two or three of them, and we’ve lived through them,” Wynn said. “The difference now is that we have all these Internet bloggers and half-assed observers. Seventy percent of what they write is total bullshit and total fiction. “

I can just imagine Steve sitting at his computer every day

“Goddamn it, I did not steal dealer’s tips! Those fucking liars!”

Both Steve and the RJ have finally outdone themselves.

We are 70% wrong … unlike the mainstream media who gives it to you straight, accurately and unbiased every time!

Like this …

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” is a popular song from the Broadway musical “Spamalot,” which recently ended its 14-month run at Wynn Las Vegas.

Wynn Resorts Ltd. Chairman and CEO Steve Wynn seems to have taken those lyrics to heart.

Oh for crying out loud, are you shitting me?

This Stutz guy should be writing greeting cards for Hallmark, not reporting the “news”.

Does anyone have an extra set of knee pads for Howard Stutz?

It’s going to be a long year, and if he is going to smoke the pole like that every time, he is certainly going to need several more pairs.

Another thing that jumped out at me …. since when does the Review Journal publish the word “bullshit”?

Did they start doing that before or after they began peddling geriatric porn on their website?

I guarantee you that the editor of the RJ was pissing himself with glee when he read Steve’s comment. He probably ran down to the printing press himself and started the machine while screaming “This will show those little bastards who’s boss!”

Holy shit, the entire newsroom probably sat around and jerked off all day while reading that sentence. To a “news”paper, a comment like that is the same as a “Dear Penthouse” letter is to me.

Two birds with one stone, kiss Wynn’s ass, and disparage the “alternative media” in one shot.

Well done, fuckers.

Errr, almost.

You see guys, you failed again … as you usually do.

Much like the useless “journalists” you are, you conveniently forgot to ask him specifically which 70% we were “wrong” about.

It’s easy to say that people are wrong, but if you can’t be specific, it is not terribly useful.

And better yet, exactly which 30% is it that we got right.

That information would be helpful and relevant. No?

Or do the editors suspect, as I do, that Steve completely pulled those numbers directly out of his anal cleft?

It’s no great secret that the great Steve Wynn does not like to be second guessed or criticized.

My homey (and I can call Steve my homey because we are down like that) grew up in a day and age when the press bent over every time his dick got hard.

This whole “Internet” thing drives him batshit, and he just doesn’t know what to make of it.

I guess the only thing he can do anymore is run off to the “legitimate” press, and make a blanket assertion that everyone else is almost always wrong … and said legitimate press will gladly print it. (along with geriatric porn)

This serves a dual purpose. It helps the “legitimate” press promote themselves as bastions of accuracy while kissing Steve’s ass … ensuring future access to Steve for the newspaper.

Hey, it’s a win-win for everyone!

Except the reader, who still gets force-fed crap every day (courtesy of sponsored advertising).

Yellow Journalism: It’s not just for half-assed bloggers anymore.

It’s all my fault that Las Vegas has gone to hell.   Declining service and odds have nothing to do with it … it’s those pesky bloggers making things up.  Yeah, that’s it … they’re to blame!  That’s Steve’s story, and goddamn it, he is sticking to it.

Now if you guys will excuse me, I’m off to The Strip to find some 30% accurate news.

One of these days I’m going to hone my newshound skills, and become 35% accurate.

I know I can do it … just wait and see!
