YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"While the 2012 election may have severely damaged Dick Morris' credibility as a pundit, leading to his temporary benching at Fox News, it appears to have been good for his wallet. The Fox News contributor and columnist at The Hill aggressively fundraised for a super PAC he advised, which then apparently funneled money back to Morris through rentals of his email list.
According to FEC data released December 6, Morris' Super PAC for America paid conservative news outlet Newsmax Media roughly $1.7 million for "fundraising" in October and November. A significant portion of the super PAC's money likely went to renting Morris' own email list, which is operated by Newsmax Media."*
Did Dick Morris con the Cons? It turns out he made a huge amount of money from Newsmax Media for sending out newsletters pumped full of baseless assurances Mitt Romney and conservatives would sweep the elections. Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
