Big Head DC has learned that DCRTV is starting a campaign against the Mediabistro FishbowlDC blog, and will henceforth refer to it as FishBowelDC.
Dave Hughes, the longtime writer of DCRTV, is steaming like a broken printing press at FishbowlDC’s wet-behind-the-ears media gossip Patrick Gavin, who falsely claimed earlier this week that FishbowlDC had the scoop on the shuttering of Washington Post Radio.
