I couldn't agree more with the substance of the letter to the editor about a small-minded bigot, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.
But in publishing this letter on the day after Martin Luther King Day, the print version of The Tribune created a headline (“King was always a racist,” Jan. 22) that linked the name "King" with racism, rather than civil rights. The Tribune owes an apology to journalism, its readers and the memory of Dr. King.
Steve King deserves censure for a career of hate-mongering. Martin Luther King Jr. deserves our lasting respect and honor for a life consecrated to humanity.
The Trib deserves censure for thoughtless headline writing. In the second half of January, there is only one "King.”
Chris Fassler, Draper
