Sarah Marshall: Why You Should Rethink What You Know About History | The Agenda

Journalist and podcaster Sarah Marshall discusses her popular podcast, "You're Wrong About." It's a deep dive into familiar cultural touchstones and figures, from the Satanic Panic to Monica Lewinski, and re-examines the way they were portrayed in the media. She discusses how this revisionist take on recent history has become more common and whether media is doing a better job at getting at the truth behind the story.
