Fact Checking and Malcolm Gladwell Still Not Peas in Literary Pod
 

gladwell2.jpg Not only is Jeff Bercovici's original item about fabulist Malcolm Gladwell back online (the "item was temporarily removed to allow for additional reporting"), there's an update with defense from Gladwell and New Yorker editor David Remnick. So the official story goes: Gladwell didn't ignore a warning from fact checkers when writing about the book The Bell Curve; he just simply never ran it past them. So … Gladwell is still pretty much a fact checker's nightmare? Got it.
