Graham realized he was wrong about this and apologized long before he died.
Suffice to say there are many Jews, not all of them practice Judaism at all, and they disagree about lots and lots of things.  There is no grand conspiracy.  They are disproportionately in Hollywood and Wall St but they are nowhere near a majority in either and have never controlled either.

If "no one will change your mind on it" then it's religion.  Normal opinions bend to new facts, and opinions that don't are religious opinions.

I have a question I have been curious about. Are people who lack basic common sense aware that they lack basic common sense, or are they truly oblivious?

I'll reword this. Are you aware that you lack basic common sense? Is it a surprise to hear it? Do you feel like you actually have common sense and everyone else around you simply doesn't? Do you believe in common sense and the notion of "trusting your gut"?

Do you feel like you actually have common sense and everyone else around you simply doesn't?

If there is such a thing as common sense, the fact that Jews are all different should be part of it.

If there is such a thing as common sense, the idea that most people's opinions about most things change based on facts should be part of it.

If there is such a thing as common sense, the fact that religions are opinions that don't depend on fact but rather on faith should be part of it.

If you don't have these ideas, to name a few, how can you claim that you have common sense but I don't?
