In fairness to a magazine to which I subscribe: they're just as likely to publish a piece disagreeing with Gladwell, have published pieces on the effectiveness of the internet and social networking in activism, and have an overall ideological bias firmly in disagreement with Gladwell's in general.

Diss Gladwell all you want, he deserves it, and sure, the revolution is more likely to be written about in the New Yorker than begun there, but it will definitely get published.
