so if this NPR interview was on Sept. 2 does the WaPo writer take off from that? b/c the WaPo columnist makes it sound like she just noticed the mis-attribution in the rug and investigated it, when perhaps the NPR program first drew attention to the error

.... and did MLK actually cite Th. Parker as source of the words? MLK re-worked the quote in his own way, but the WaPo column makes it seem that MLK acknowledged Parker as the source, whereas the NPR piece suggests that MLK was continuing his problem of “unattributed borrowings” to speak euphemistically......

What’s on the rug is out of context and worthless....

Glenn Beck's The Blaze reported the story a day before NPR.
