Does anyone know what happened to The Horse (MediaWhoresOnline)?
They're officially "out to pasture," with no indication of when the site will return.

The Daily Howler hasn't updated in over a month, either.

Anyone have the goods? What's going on with these two important sites?

1. Howler's been updated.
You must be linked to the Howler from a month ago, or something. Somerby has been updating it (almost) daily since the end of the holidays.

Here's Friday's: http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh031904.shtml.

2. The Horse looks like it has closed up shop
I suspect that a busy professional and personal life has left the Horse with no time for the site. It's a shame. It was a damn good blog. There are plenty of others, but the Horse was (is?) a great voice.

4. They got tired
or the money was so bad they didnt have the energy or time to keep it going. Thats a shame. It was a great site. I wish there was another in that vein. ??

5. I miss the Horse too.

They promised to come back when they could devote more time to the site. I hope that's true. Maybe closer to November they'll be back.

:hi:

My browser sometimes won't update if I bring something up through a favorite. It'll go and get what's in the cache instead. Maybe yours has that same glitch? :shrug:
