13. I don't think David Brock was involved with MWO |
|
Media Matters is wonderful, I just miss MWO's snark - it was genius.

15. I just don't think he was |
|
the writing styles are different and I've never seen Brock display the acid-wit I saw written on MWO.
:shrug:
Why do you think he was involved?

20. Similar writing, similar interest in exposing media hypocrisy, similar blog names, |
|
Edited on Mon Apr-07-08 08:41 PM by Lex
one closed (that had "whore" in the name, which would cause some drawbacks if to be taken seriously) and was very snarky, and the other with a more serious bent (without "whore" in the name).
Other stuff but that's the most obvious.

21. A friend of mine contributed to the site at one point. |
|
I forgot the name of the little thing he did, it was the "________ of whores" a basic rundown of obnoxious talking heads. I used to love the message board too.

19. I remember them fondly |
|
It was how I found Bartcop and Buzzflash and a few other sites back when the net was largely a right wing wasteland.
They did a great job, whoever they were. They are still missed by those of us who remember them, but other people have picked up the torch and carried it on.

22. We're MWO alumns here!1 |
|
I was "YellowDog" while the original person was "YellowDawg". We (the MWO family) were always being harrassed by SUGAR-something-or-other. I could bring her to her knees, by telling her that she was a LONELY WINGNUT while we were a FAMILY. Plus, there was this Xmas holiday, when MWO was being spammed by the college-loafers, and I emergency-e/mailed Bartcop saying, "Help, MWO is on vacation and we're being FLAMED by these a-hole college kids!1" And he answered, with the first name of the mysterious MWO person.
