[See NewsBusters for more.] In what should be considered a controversial decision if we had an honest media, the Dallas Mavericks basketball team has stopped playing the National Anthem this season.

CBS This Morning on Wednesday for a scant 36 seconds.  Co-host Gayle King quickly explained, “If you watch the Dallas Mavericks home game this season you will not hear The Star-Spangled Banner.
