For my company, I need to come up with a weekly e-learning newsletter which usually consists of an article, defining new vocab, something about foreign culture, ect. I've been trying to use relevant articles and was thinking about actually using part of a news story on this seeing as it's such a big story in the US now. The article includes this:
"At a news conference Saturday night, a clearly emotional Dupnik, who has been close to both Giffords and Roll, repeatedly cited what he characterized as the "vitriol" that has infected political discourse. He said that his own state has become "the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
There is reason to believe, he said, that the shooting suspect "may have a mental issue," adding that people like that "are especially susceptible to vitriol.""
"That may be free speech, but it's not without consequences," he said.
I wanted to use talk about the general structure of the US government and the parties in the other sections, but do you guys think it is in bad form to use something so politically charged? Or even to bring up a subject like freedom of speech? Or perhaps it would be better to use portions that better reflect the events instead of reactions? Anyway, I'm interested to hear any opinions you guys might have!
