favoring a proposed Harrah's casino is "a remarkable switch" for the Journal, which for years has staunchly opposed the establishment of a destination casino in Rhode Island.

ProJo reader: "What is going on here?? I am expecting The Journal to explain why it has changed its opinion. Is it because advertising revenue, current and future, has influenced its position?"
