Donahue gave them a public forum for their spokesmen, how did crossfire handle it?
What difference does it make? It was still a platform. My memory says it was a talking point/questions when they would do an episode on the early years of the Gay Rights movement.
Leaders would come on the show and Buchanon (also Novak) would bring NAMBLA up and try to get the representatives to comment negatively on the group.
