Mark Cuban: Surely you saw his blog blacklist screed earlier this week. A newspaperman has responded. “That sounds like a lazy, lame half-measure. Blacklisting is so 1950s. If the country learned anything from the Committee on Un-American Activities, it’s that naming names won’t change anything. It’s best to round up all the bloggers and throw them in internment camps before things get ugly.” If Cuban wants to put his plan into action, perhaps a newspaper version should exist – reporters who float rumors (coaching, free agents, the draft, recruiting, etc.) from unnamed sources that never come to fruition. Surely this occurs from time to time in the newsgathering process; some reporters – no names – make a habit (a living?) off of this. [Philly Inquirer]
