Oops! Peter Schorsch of the SaintPetersBlog points out that the Tampa Bay Times offers no recognition of the MLK holiday on its front page. All other major Florida papers have stories highlighting Dr. King's life and leadership. It does have a story about recognizing Union soldiers who lost a Civil War battle in Florida. What were they thinking? Here's what Mr. Schorsch says, click title for link to article.

But on the front of the Tampa Bay Times, regarded as one of the most progressive newspapers in the South, the story which dominates is about a USF medical student who turns her “passion for medicine and performing into a fundraiser for the student-run free clinic.” There are also stories about Edward Snowden and the debate over in-state tuition rates for undocumented students. Just no MLK.
