I was using "privilege" somewhat sarcastically, as, as I mentioned, I was only 4 at the time. I was somewhat frequently subjected to Graham's "crusades" on the TV which, I think, helped grow in me the loathing I have for mixing emotion with belief. I have heard the lines about Graham and the Jewish stranglehold on the media. I also read recently that he more or less recanted the statement. I suspect he had about as much influence on the direction of Judaism in America as you or I do.
