Ask HN: I want to run multiple sites – should I have multiple corporations?
Is this a real problem? How different/risky does the site have to be to justify it? What's your experience? Any links to anyone else dealing with this?

You can set up one company and produce several lines of related or similar products. Unless the products or sites are highly different from each other (Ex one from health care industry and other one from entertainment) you do not need to set up multiple corporations. So it is a bad idea. Think about tax implications and paperwork involved.Try to run a single entity and you will know how much work does it involve.
There are lot of media outlets out there with several sites, magazines or product but with just one corporation.
