Journos Mugshots: Bitter/Sweet - Posted April 23, 2009
Eric Longabardi of The Enterprise Report has a series of journo mugshots. Perfect to be a cherry on top of that video in El Paso of a cop freaking out and arresting a reporter. Our favorite of the bunch is, of course Shepherd Smith. Then this morning, just to give a... [FishBowlLA]

UPDATE: Kevin Roderick Vs. Eric Longabardi - Posted August 14, 2008
Going into far more detail on L.A. Observed than he did with us here at Fishbowl LA, Kevin Roderick blasts Eric Longabardi's latest ERSNews.com post, saying "On these kind of phony hits motivated by link envy, the backstory is the most interesting part." We love court side seats to mud-slinging matches. So... [FishBowlLA]

We're not sure what bloggers Kevin Roderick and Eric Longabardi have against each other, but we know they won't be sharing a toothbrush any time soon. Longabardi, over at ERSNews.com, reports that K-Rod is grossly exaggerating his claims to two staff-awarded L.A. Times Pulitzers. For his part, L.A. Observed's Roderick... [FishBowlLA]

Props: Stuff That Deserves Mention This Week - Posted September 25, 2007
Good on ERSNews.com for breaking the Mirthala Salinas story before anyone else (1 hour and 11 minutes before the LAT, as co-editor Eric Longabardi tells us).

LA Times to ERS News: Cease and Desist/ERS News to LA Times: Make Your Reporters Stop Copying Us - Posted August 22, 2007
ERS News.com enjoys a good game of cat and mouse with the LA Times lawyer. The exchange is long, but very worthwhile, and it all started with a cease and desist demand. First email from Karlene Goller, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel: I am an attorney for the Los Angeles Times.... [FishBowlLA]

Mirthala Salinas and Mayor Villaraigosa: Does the Romance Cost the City? - Posted July 22, 2007
The LA Times dutifully kept the heat on Telemundo temptress Mirthala Salinas and Mayor Villaraigosa, sort of.

Investigative Reporting Site Launches - Posted March 30, 2007
LA-based independent producer and investigative journo Eric Longabardi and Peabody Award-winning TV vet Roger Scott launched an online investigative reporting site Tuesday -- because a pig flight school would have been too lucrative.
