Vlad provides an echo chamber to those who already share his points of view; if he likes you, he skews his interviews to tossing softball questions to his guests, as one might do with friends at a casual party. If he doesn't or he has a preconceived notion about you and who you are, then he wants to portray himself as a journalist asking the tough questions. Toure, on the other hand, as a professional, is capable of separating himself from the subject in order to get the story, where Vlad just wants to tell stories... including name dropping who he knows and with whom he has spoken. Toure is interested in providing information to his readers, where Vlad is interested in providing entertainment to his viewers. It's pretty clear in Toure's responses both physically and verbally that he and Vlad do not operate on the same level.

Now 2yrs later she’s a “guest” at his home at age 16?!? I believe all those women until proven otherwise! His girls have to read or see horrible things about their father. Innocent people stay and fight for their reputation and family. Guilty people pack a bag and passports so they can go hide in Bali.

This is the draw of sex with younger and younger people. if sex is a drug your tolerance increases so you need purer and purer forms.

I clicked on this interview of person that I'd never heard of and it was the best string of interviews (saw all 6 parts) I've seen in a LONG TIME. Toure was very knowledgeable and not off putting the way some interviewers are (fox news, and Meghan Kelly). I wish him well. Vlad your opinions of Russell Simmons were underwhelming. I realize you don't want an innocent man crucified but being harassed isn't something that is funny at the time that we later decide to lie about. It's awful through and through and when it comes from the likes of a Bill Cosby or Russell Simmons they have the power to ruin your life afterwards as well. PLEASE for the women in your life, get the facts and adjust your focus.

If I get lied on I'd be furious & tryna shoot fades with everybody. I'm firing back like Tavis Smiley 😂
