Samantha Vanterpool claims she was fired over a Post comment calling the Cooch an “egomaniac” wrongly attributed to her.
The Allbritton-owned station is getting rid of nasty Internet comments.
Jeff Black, the chef and restaurateur who won a trio of prizes on Sunday at the RAMMY awards, is walking back some of the statements he made about food bloggers.

Just in case you hadn’t yet checked out Prince of Petworth this morning, we feel it is our editorial obligation to point out that the prince has penned a brief profile, complete with photo, of resident commenter and enfant terrible Monkeyrotica.
