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!
