Axe to Grind
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.

Good words. Bad deeds. Compelling characters. No remorse. Access to the man himself. Fat Leonard will stay with you for a long time…

This is a great podcast. It’s a shame that it is being panned by immature reviewers that cannot stand to hear a reality that does not align with their worldview. Misogyny exists most of its perpetrators are men. Get over it. This remains an excellent podcast
