Shapiro’s father was also employed by Breitbart - but he wrote under a pseudonym to “protect” himself from people who didn’t like his son, and might go after the father.
Or viewed another way: He got his father a paid gig and didn’t want anyone to know Dad was on the same payroll at Breitbart, sucking up $ doing a job that a non-related person might have done.
Seems like everything in DC is crony. It would be interesting to know the name Ben's father wrote under, might be enlightening to see what his world view was.
William Bigelow was his byline.
Pollak wrote a sassy insulting parting shot at Shapiro & published it this morning, under Shapiro’s Dad’s byline.
It’s been deleted, but not before other sites caught it.

I actually laughed out loud in reading how Ben gets SO MANY DEATH THREATS, his dad had to write using a pseudonym ! Of course it’s not cronyism! The fact they disclosed it to embarrass him was irrelevant.
