First FishbowlDC outright stole our scoop on Tony Blankley’s departure from the Washington Times last night, saying that the story was posted on their site first when, in fact, we beat them by 6 minutes. And, today, editor Patrick Gavin picks on The Hill newspaper for an ad typo, but then Gavin himself makes a title-sized typo just a few minutes later (which we’ve circled in red):
Patrick, a special note to you: This rivalry you have manufactured in your head between this site and your site is ridiculous. Stop stealing our stuff, stop telling your Mediabistro bosses lies about us — just stop. Your inferiority complex is getting the better of you.

Well, we know a few things he DOESN’T DO:
1. Proofread
2. Find his own scoops
3. Tweeze his eyebrows
4. Exercise
5. Poop

So Mediabistro can profit (to the tune of 23 mil) for ad revenue by stealing scoops from the smaller blogs…. But if CNN or FOX did such a thing, Fishbowl, TVNewser would be all over them. The hypocrisy is incredible.
