From an article about the latest trial of M. Khodorkovsky, this phrase is allegedly uttered by a prosecuting attorney. To whom is he referring (the media?), and what is the nature of the insult here?
Отмечая, что в ходе процесса существенно ограничиваются права СМИ, чье присутствие, по версии защиты, очень не нравится представителям гособвинения, г-н К. привел еще одну цитату г-на Л.: "Публика с маргинальным оттенком, которая вообще никто".

fringe types
I think "публика" here means just "people". "Fringe types, basically [a bunch of] nobodies". But I don't quite follow who's saying what about whom - if it's the prosecutor talking about the press, or what.

this is the group of marginally shady people
I am more inclined to this definition. I used to be a journalist, and I had encountered some interactions with my colleagues. So, I think we are talking about marginally shady people.

Example sentence:
A person can be categorized shady for a couple different reasons. First of all, a shady person will tell you one thing and then they deliberately do the opposite of their word, they are basically being a straight out liar and being proud of it.

The Misha
: "marginally shady" would actually mean not really shady. No, it doesn't look like a particularly successful way of puting it.

about to whom
Прессу и остальных зрителей, среди которых заслуженные общественные деятели, они обозвали «публикой с маргинальным оттенком» и так и заявили им в открытом заседании: «Вы никто!»
или
«Публика с маргинальным оттенком, которая вообще никто» - это заявление и его вариации звучали многократно по отношению к людям и журналистам...
about публика
why not to take audience?
I'd say: Marginal-like (or marginalish) audience who don't mean a thing
