“I really wanted to like the podcast because Fat Leonard is a story that deserves solid reporting. But by the second episode the narrator is drawing a line between the 30 year old Tailhook scandal and Fat Leonard. By the fifth episode, he drops this doozy of a line:
“For years she endured the indignities of a Navy wife. A cheating husband who was never around, domestic abuse, and an institution who cared more for operational tempo than the security of her family.”
To broad stroke the actions of an abusive spouse with the entire culture of the United States Navy was my breaking point. Throughout the first four episodes he tries to create a narrative that the Navy is a corrupt institution, rotten to the core.
It’s very clear to me that the narrator has an axe to grind with the Navy, and he’s letting his agenda color his reporting.”
