MSNBC's Gregory's claim that "everybody is talking about" Hitchens' anti-Clinton comments is false -- unless "everybody" is MSNBC

SUMMARY: MSNBC's David Gregory claimed that "everybody is talking about" Christopher Hitchens' recent comments on why, in Gregory's words, Hitchens "believes picking Hillary Clinton for secretary of state would be a, quote, 'ludicrous embarrassment' for President Obama." In fact, not "everybody" is talking about Hitchens, who has smeared Clinton before -- not CNN, not Fox News, at least not during prime time, not major newspapers, and not even NBC's Nightly News.
