Spewing, lies distortion to go unchallenged. Graham has no proof. "Seems odd," "find it hard to believe.." No proof, no push back from the "journalist" ...and still we watch.

Dick Gregory, his work in civil rights is awesome
on top of that he is a heck of a comedian
he has been married to the same person since 1959
seems like he is doing something right.

Now IRT Graham - no argument.

I dont expect these guys to make it easy...Gregory always seems - hate to say this..."fair and balanced."

He must be doing a good job - because he is equally disliked by the right.

IMO Russert used MTP technique of running embarassingly contradictory clips to get to the heart of the matter. Gregory uses it as a Carny trying to follow the latest superficial meme and taking cheap shots, on both sides. He does load his guest list with righties and made MTP unwatchable..
