IMO: Something's Wrong!

I knew something was wrong, but couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Then....while looking at the Miami Herald today, the paper...not online (Mom still looks at the paper daily), I realized what was bothering me.

This is Independence Day, and, silly me, I think it should be the lead story on the front page. It's not.

At the very top of the page is a 1/2 inch banner? (not sure of the correct name) which goes across the top of the page. It barely shows some of the stars portion of our flag and some sky, with a "HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY" and a "INSIDE: TODAY'S EVENTS, 2B" small font.

That's it.

Front Page stories:

The 2 big ones:
Caleron claims win; foe says no.
and
Rebuilding iPods.
Down the left side, table of contents with:
Shuttle set for launch,
Viral Video,
Subway Crash Deadly in Spain,
Hunt for killer of girl widens,
State to run insurance firm, &
The Marlins get battered.
Other small stories: The Freethinker Coach (re World Cup), Hiding Court Cases just got tougher, and Man's miracle boosts study of brain damage.
That's it.

I have posted the Key Biscayne article:

I could see the Mexican and iPod stories on other pages, but.....

I feel like the Herald has ignored our country, on one of our most important and meaningful holidays. Or am I just being silly?
