So much for being original

Remember how I suggested last week that writers in the mainstream media might troll blogs for ideas? Well, maybe they don’t realize it’s wrong since they so often do it to each other: this article by Israel Gutierrez of Knight Ridder Newspapers so closely resembles this article by Steve Luhm of the Salt Lake Tribune (or is it the other way around?) that I’m confused. Am I missing something here?

    the steve luhm article was posted a day after the Isreal article, so maybe he did get the notion of writing the article from him. bu what bothered me, was Isreal calling the Palace, the riot capital of the NBA….

    seriously, get over it already.. are you that in need of news, you have to go back in time to take a cheap shot?

    whatever…

    You’re forgetting about that astute post on here last week about Tayshaun that was subsequently picked up by BOTH Detroit papers! ;)

    @ Ree: Gutierrez may have wrote that piece for KR, but his day job is serving as a beat writer for the Miami Heat. No surprise he let some bias shine through.

    @ LA Mike: Right on!
