CBS kills 'Public Eye' blog

The internal watchblog that began after Dan Rather's career meltdown has disappeared from the list of CBS News blogs, and Rachel Sklar at the Huffington Post is disappointed.

It's a sad loss, really — Public Eye had some smart and insightful commentary, and used to run a terrific Friday column called "Outside Voices" with contributors from outside CBS, which I was lucky to contribute to (and they were very gracious when I used my column, in part, to complain that they didn't have enough female contributors)....

It's sad to see a project begun with such excitement (and such a bugdet, oy — there were THREE editors at one time!) come to such a quiet and unlamented end, without even time for a whimper. Ah well. At least we still have Couric & Co!
