Acerca de esta escucha

Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell's journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea, even a song—and asks whether we got it right the first time. From Pushkin Industries. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.

    In the late 19th century, a painting titled The Roll Call, by a virtually unknown artist, took England by storm. But after that brilliant first effort, the artist all but disappeared. Why? And what does The Roll Call tell us about the fate of those first through the door?

    Saigon, 1965

    In the early 1960s the Pentagon set up a top-secret research project in an old villa in downtown Saigon. The task? To interview captured North Vietnamese soldiers and guerrillas in order to measure the effect of relentless U.S. bombing on their morale. Yet despite a wealth of great data, even the leaders of the study couldn’t agree on what it meant.

As always, Gladwell is a masterful storyteller and this is no exception. His research and archange facts on one thought they wanted or needed to know has me feeling smarter by each carefully and thoughtfully spoken word.

The works are using the current lens of experience and exploring a bit of history. The telescope maybe reconfirms things I was thinking, but it gives texture to the position. It layers in context. I like the history. The critiques of these vignettes are annecdotal misses the vehicle's limitations. This isn't a broad historical rendering of facts but it is illustration. The choices are well presented.

As much as I love Malcolm, his liberal bias can be clearly heard. His past books have always taken a peak on the other side of many public stories. A side that should be known and seen. Read just one of his books and you start to realize there ARE many sides to a story and we are too often only exposed to the narrative that meets the criteria of the editing room. You read enough of his books and you begin to know there is another side of a story to be told.

Here lies the issue with these podcast… he gets to really expose his bias and push his opinion.
From an out and out hatred of republicans, to being a social justice warrior, he bends a story to fit HIS narrative. See Malcolm, those of us who are great fans of your work have been taught by the master, YOU. To question a story, try to see and hear the rhetoric, ponder the other side(s). Wonder if there is more to know. It makes you doubt or question almost everything.

A good example is the statue story in Birmingham, Alabama of the police officer, his police dog and a black boy the dog appears to be attacking. Even though it is taken from a famous photo, great liberty was taken in the recreation of the scene. Upon interviews with the artist, the boy (now an adult) and the widow of the police officer, we come to learn the REAL story of the day and the two people captured in that photo. The statue is used to keep the flames fanned between racial tension. Yet, that is not the real store. Malcolm comes across as angry that the real story is not what is presented in the statue.

The story about Brian Williams being forgiven for falsifying a war story because of a faulty memory taints Malcolm’s creditability. Forgetting small details is normal, but fabricating an entire story about gun fire, landing and being stuck in the desert for 3 days is an out and out lie. Brian Williams fabricated this story because he was famous, powerful and no one questioned him. And he was getting away with it. To say he lied, would destroy his credibility. To say he had a fallible memory or (PTSD), generates sympathy. They must be drinking buddies.

The podcasts are highly entertaining and thought generating. But now I wonder if he could tell a fair story about a conservative issue or take on the real stories behind many liberal causes that are truly breaking down society.

Whenever there was a negative review of Malcolm’s books, I always felt someone had an ax to grind. Now, I get it. Malcolm is a national treasure as a story teller. But with all stories… beware with what you walk away with.

National treasure story teller, but beware of what you walk away with.

I find that this podcast takes known scientific knowledge and somehow takes it to the realm of misinformation by twisting it to conform Gladwell's shower theories. The only redemption is that he presents some history I was unaware of, but otherwise, it has no value.

Terribly misinforming
