Discussion of Article

The article that I have chosen is a rather direct attack on Ward Churchill, a professor who is currently under fire at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The author uses direct quotes from Ward Churchill and discusses how valid his points may or may not be. The author also wants to show the readers that there are much bigger issues at hand that are not being addressed legally. He is trying to make a point that the general public is smarter than they appear and that they don't need convincing that Churchill is off base and in the wrong. The author of this article is trying to get the media to cover the heart of the issue and what is happening now as opposed to trying to convince the readers to be against him. They are already against him for the most part and would rather be up-to-date and informed on the matter than be persuaded.
