I've always wondered: who was Mediawhoresonline?

[CatWoman]

Gawd, I miss that site :cry:

[meegbear]

1. I was just thinking about that yesterday ...

I haven't taken the link out of my browser list and I decided I won't.

Great site indeed.

2. I miss them too.

It was rumored that it was someone who got involved in Kerry's campaign and that is why it dropped out of sight in the time leading up to the 2004 election.

It was a great site. If it was still around now, I am sure the flashing red light would have become permanent.

3. some inside the beltway types i suspect...

thats probably why they had to remain anonymous.

[Kurovski]

4. Same here.

I think of them whenever I think to call someone a "Media Whore".
It's automatic.

Cheers to whomever they were. :toast:

5. Some thought it might have been Carville?

But I have no idea?

[Cooley Hurd]

7. He quoted the horse frequently on Crossfire...

Hmmm...

[MarinCoUSA]

6. Loved that site- wish it were still active

n/t

8. The best. No idea who it/they was/were. But the Horse is missed.

And much needed.

9. mwo is how i ended up here

i used to post in the forums there as "jones" when it was closing down some people mentioned they were going to DU so i checked it out.

[central scrutinizer]

13. me too

I always read MWO first thing every morning and that was where I learned of DU, Buzzflash, etc.

[senseandsensibility]

23. Me, too

I feel like I discovered a whole new world, thanks to mwo. I miss that site.

[Sagan]

10. Jumping in with kudos for MWO

I loved that site. It was back and forth from DU to MWO all the time for me back in the day.

If I had to guess, I'd say whoever was responsible for MWO joined forces on the mediamatters.org site with Brock.

11. someone here knew who wrote the horse

if i remember right the person ,i think it was a lady, couldn`t devote enough time to create the content everyday.

[monarch]

12. I loved it too.

Wikipedia has an entry for those who don't remember it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Whores_Online I think that site was the cause of my internet addiction, that and Bartcop. I don't remember how I got here but it was early 2001 and I remember that there were fewer than 900 posters at that time.

[trumad]

14. OK---I give up---it was me.

[CatWoman]

16. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[myrna minx]

15. I miss the horse too.

Horse and howler kept me sane at the very beginning of this nightmare. :cry:

[gratuitous]

17. The Horse was one of the best

They even featured and boxed some of my comments, which is how savvy and perceptive they were.

[CatWoman]

18. !!!!!

:D

[Lex]

19. I always thought David Brock and he shut it down to start Media Matters.

:shrug:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

21. That was my suspicion as well.

eom

[Lex]

22. "Media" Whores transformed into "Media" Matters

which would be more able to go somewhat mainstream than "Whores" would be.

It seemed to fit on many levels.

[devilgrrl]

20. I miss them deeply...

wish they'd come back.
