Right-Wing Media Empires Run By Criminals Not Named Murdoch

The right-wing media news site Mediaite was forced to disclose Saturday that its top editor (who was working under an assumed name) was twice convicted for fraud and spent a number of years in the state pen.  The editor also stands accused of domestic abuse, and making specious criminal charges against a lover, who was acquitted of the charges. The man appears to be a mash-up of Jordan Belfort, Patrick Bateman and an idiot Steve Wozniak.

Nevertheless, he did his time, although it's not clear whether he paid restitution to his victims or feels any remorse. The only thing he's currently guilty of is managing a criminally stupid website.  But if there's more, you won't read about it on Mediaite.

Update (1/12):  Another site reports the dude liked to tell Mediaite underlings he was a doctor, and his partner was in "black ops."  More credible than anything else published on Mediaite.
