Fish Story

Washington, DC lobbyist Rick Berman [1] must have a new client. Recently his front group, the Center for Consumer Freedom [2], launched a new website called FishScam.com [3] along with a multimedia PR blitz including billboard and radio ads decrying the "hype" about health hazards of mercury in fish.
