ONA 2006: Mark Cuban Says Former Employee an 'Idiot'

Mark Cuban is nothing if not direct. FishbowlNY in July quoted a disgruntled employee talking about how HDNet, Cuban’s newish venture, was very “makeshift.” Cuban’s response to us (video’s above) at the Online News Association conference at the Capital Hilton: The former employee was fired after one project, is “an idiot,” and “needs to get a life.”

As to the spit-and-glue image, he says, we should visit new employee Dan Rather‘s Manhattan offices. Rather, by the way, has “carte blanche,” Cuban says, to do whatever he wants there.
