YOU KNOW, WHO NEEDS TO BASH THE MEDIA when they’re so busy doing it to themselves?

Convicted child killer Joel Steinberg has a job as a television producer waiting when he’s released from prison next summer after serving 17 years, his attorney said Monday.

Steinberg will work for “New York Confidential,” an interview show on a local cable station, attorney Darnay Hoffman said.

“He has contacts in prison,” Hoffman said, explaining that Steinberg, a disbarred lawyer, knows some of the state’s most notorious criminals. “He knows how to go into a prison and get a story.”

Steinberg, 62, is completing an 8-to-25-year prison term for manslaughter in the death of his illegally adopted daughter, Lisa, and is expected to be released next June.
