These are the moments I miss Media Whores Online
When the news broke that Bush has retained an attorney pertaining to the Valerie Plame incident, I could almost see that atomic bomb picture that MWO used on their front page whenever a big story surfaced. Wish to hell they'd re-join us...

left off:

8. David Brock may very well have been The Walrus.
Or, Horse, in this case. Odd, the way MWO folds, and Media Matters pops up in its stead... hmmm...

David's site is the same kind of material, presented in a more urgent, serious manner. It's excellent.

2. I miss The Horse too
MWO -- so aptly named -- is sorely missed by this poster.

3. I second that
they were a wonderful site. I'm hoping it was just burnout and eventually they will make a comeback. Welcome to the DU gumby.

"I'm GUMBY dammit and I can PROVE IT!!!" (SNL skit) :D

6. Yeah, mine, too
I miss MWO dreadfully. I still go to the site just to look at the horse. Does anybody know how permanent this is?

7. the Orcinus blog
had some info. not to long ago. The blogger keeps in touch with the person/people behind MWO. They are taking a break, for personal reasons...but plan to come back before the election.

5. Soon, my precioussssss
Or at least so I hope, as well. It's gotta be killing the sitemaster of MWO to miss so much of what's happening lately, but that whole working for a living thing stops too many people from favoring us with their wonderful commentary.

Miss you, MWO! Hope you're back soon!
