For some reason I find it utterly hilarious. Because on any subject I know a bit I find reporting by media utterly wrong or willfully ignorant. And it just makes me think what about all the subjects on which I have little or no knowledge. Can I trust anything at all here.
I guess the point is same, like Gladwell media is obsessed with narrative often at cost of details/truth.
