How can you do a story on this surprising poll and never actually seek out and find some of the 70 to 80 percent of Native Americans who don’t find
“redskin” disrespectful?
Dan Barry leads with some who does, and fills the story with people who don’t like the finding and even question the findings.
But where is the first thing any good reporter would answer for a reader: Why does the vast majority think what it thinks?
By the way, I find the term offensive, but that has nothing to do with going after the opinions that made the poll so shocking.
