What’s Happening to Dick Scaife?

Do you know who Richard Mellon Scaife is? Scaife has been the perennial anti-Clinton media mogul of the Conservative sort. Scaife is the founder of NewsMax and supporter of Conservative causes (notable website) and other media outlets like the American Spectator. He is a billionaire who has been extremely generous toward Conservative causes as George Soros is associated with the fringe Left.

Scaife has even been a supporter of Joseph Farah who is the founder of World Net Daily. The key words are “has been.”

So why the interest in Scaife and his Conservative credentials? World Net Daily reports that Scaife has become a Clinton supporter, an anti-war activist and seemingly rabid anti-Bush.

Now I realize the media outlets like NewsMax, American Spectator and World Net Daily aren’t exactly viewed as a media outlet that report accurately; nonetheless they are outlets that report an alternative to the heavily skewed Lefty Mainstream Media (MSM) who have had reputations of credible reporting and public believability. It is the view of credibility and believability that has made the MSM dangerous as a propaganda tool of the Slanted Left minded fringe of America.

What accounts for Scaife’s transformation? Worse, what might this mean for Conservative alternative news to compare to the MSM news?
