MediaWhoresOnline, a web site I discovered just a few short months ago, has been on top of things in recent weeks. Today, MWO broke a blockbuster story about David Brock and David Horowitz. In both Salon and his own web site Frontpage Magazine, Horowitz accused Brock of libeling him in Blinded by the Right. Brock's alleged libelous words: "Soon thereafter, Horowitz uttered a hateful anti-gay slur to an editor friend of mine whom Horowitz didn’t know was gay." Horowitz denied the slur and claimed that the editor in question backed him up on it. In fact, MWO got word from the editor, Chad Conway, who said that Brock--not Horowitz--was telling the truth about the anti-gay slur. I'm going to write a follow-up letter to Horowitz; I only hope my friend again bets me that Horowitz will publish it (see my 4/23 post).
