The internet is blowing up about Martin Shkreli, "the Most Hated Man on the Planet" (that title earned for overnight jacking the price of a life-saving drug from $13.50 to $750), getting arrested for securities fraud. Scroll the list of trending article shares on Facebook and you'll find every type of vile hope for his future, from wishing he gets raped in prison, to pronouncements hoping he gets cancer and his privates fall off, to the typical comments about the rich, corporate greed, and the oft-heard Leftist fix for this kind of mess: terse comments of "Eat the Rich."

What you WON'T hear is that the Boy Wonder vicious hedge-fund manager-turned-"evil drug company" mastermind tried to contribute $20,000 to Vermont Democrat Bernie Sanders' Presidential campaign (refused); once applied to be a volunteer on Sander's campaign, and that he loves to use Twitter because "it's the perfect place to voice socialist and liberal ideals." That's right: the poster child of corporate greed is a self-described liberal Socialist Democrat, not a conservative Constitutionalist let alone a Republican. But you have to dig through 40 articles of footnoted articles on Wikipedia to discover this because the media guys would prefer this just didn't come up.
